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.

Exploring the Unseen Bonds Between Us

Flow and Connectedness explores the emotional and psychological ties that unite two figures separated by a physical boundary. In the scene, a young girl gazes out of the window of a two-story house, while a woman, suspended just outside, looks back in. This silent exchange speaks to an invisible yet potent connection between them—one that transcends the limitations of their physical separation. The piece invites the viewer to reflect on how bonds are often formed and maintained in ways that go beyond the tangible. The flow of emotion and understanding between the two figures suggests an unspoken connection, a continuity that exists beyond what can be seen or touched.

By focusing on the interplay between space, gaze, and presence, Flow and Connectedness raises questions about the invisible forces that draw us together. It challenges the notion that true connection requires physical proximity or spoken communication. Instead, it suggests that emotional ties can be forged and sustained through the subtle, often unseen flow of empathy and understanding.

This piece not only reflects on the bonds between individuals but also speaks to the broader concept of how we relate to others beyond the surface level. It is a meditation on the emotional currents that shape our relationships—those quiet, unspoken moments when we feel deeply connected to another person, even if no words are exchanged. These moments can often feel like an unexplainable pull, a kind of mutual understanding that cannot always be explained through logic or direct interaction.

No Longer Caught In Yesterday: A Heart Once Bound Now Seeks To Soar

In Time Will Soften The Edges , the artist delves into the subtle, transformative power of time on our memories, emotions, and relationships. The piece features a woman slightly elevated, observing a couple holding hands, evoking a sense of reflection, and distance. This visual arrangement invites viewers to contemplate the ways in which time influences our perception of love, connection, and life’s more intense moments.

The phrase "time will soften the edges" speaks to the natural process of time easing the sharpness of experiences. Whether it’s the pain of loss, the intensity of love, or the complexity of past relationships, time has a way of blurring those harsh edges, leaving behind a softer, more tender perspective. The woman's elevated position might suggest a vantage point of understanding, as if she has gained a broader view through the passage of time, enabling her to see beyond the immediate details and embrace a gentler, more compassionate outlook.

The couple holding hands serves as a poignant symbol of unity and connection. Their closeness contrasts with the woman’s slight distance, illustrating the different ways we experience relationships over time—sometimes deeply entwined, sometimes as a quiet observer from afar. This dynamic suggests that, while emotions and connections may be intense in the present, time has the power to transform how we hold these memories.
