Artist Statement

This image is about containment rather than harm.

The figure is not in crisis. They are waiting. The posture is inward, self-supporting. The light enters the space without permission, dividing the room into warmth and exposure, interior and exterior.

I’m interested in moments where vulnerability exists without spectacle. There is no climax here, no intervention. The scene resists rescue narratives. What matters is the quiet negotiation between body and environment.

The red light remains distant. It does not touch the figure. That distance is intentional. It allows tension without threat, presence without intrusion.

This work continues my exploration of how bodies—especially small ones—adapt to spaces they did not choose. Not through drama, but through stillness.
