Emotional Distance In A Complex World

The concept behind I Take My Bubble With Me Wherever I Go serves as a metaphor for emotional distance in a complex world. The elevated platform in this piece symbolizes separation from the ground—the foundation of human interaction—while the dome represents the invisible yet ever-present emotional barrier people often build around themselves. It explores the human tendency to insulate emotions from others, even when surrounded by connection and opportunity.

This piece asks viewers to reflect on their own emotional boundaries and the way they navigate the world. Are these barriers self-imposed for protection or isolation? Is there a balance between vulnerability and emotional detachment? The elevated nature of the platform adds another layer to this visual narrative, suggesting that while emotional distance might offer a certain clarity or vantage point, it also comes with a cost: the possibility of being too detached from the people and experiences that shape our lives.

The Limitations Of Verbal Communication

You’re Not Going To Reach Her With Your Words delves into the limitations of verbal communication and the deeper ways in which we connect as human beings. This piece challenges the notion that words alone can bridge emotional and psychological gaps between people, especially when physical or emotional distance is present. Instead, it points to the profound, often unspoken elements that shape our relationships: shared experiences, unexpressed emotions, and the silent understanding that transcends language.

The artwork reflects on how physical separation can strain connections, highlighting how misunderstandings arise when words fail to capture the complexity of human emotions. It asks the viewer to consider the ways in which meaningful connection requires more than just conversation—how empathy, intuition, and shared memories play a vital role in truly understanding and reaching another person. This piece is a reminder that sometimes, to really connect with someone, we have to go beyond the surface of speech and into the realm of unspoken truths.
