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.
