Play With Pins (The Burden of Existence)

A monumental cobalt figure folds into itself, knees and shoulders forming an enclosing architecture that reads as both shelter and surrender. The glossy surface—punctuated by playful, confetti-like dots—sets up a disquieting contrast with the ring of spikes below, as if innocence has been painted over a persistent, quiet threat. Compressed into a tight, circular stage, the body becomes a closed system of pressure and endurance, suggesting the modern psyche trying to contain its own vulnerabilities while perched on the edge of harm.
