two silhouettes caught mid-thought, backs turned to the city, as if waiting for a memory to cross the street. their stripes echo down the sunlit facades, rhythmically, like verses by schirach — precise, unspoken, and quietly defiant.

Artist Statement:

In this moment, she isn’t running. She’s reacting—late. The birdcage is no longer symbolic; it’s mechanical, tipped, void. She lifts her hands in resistance, but the cage falls anyway. This is the moment before grief, before understanding. The wind isn’t just from outside—it’s from everything coming undone.

Artist Statement:

There’s power in not reacting. And there’s danger in what that stillness hides.

“He Wasn’t the One Who Cleaned It Up” is a study in silent aftermath. The Lamb doesn’t flee. He doesn’t fix his collar. He walks forward, stained but unfazed.

The mask is no longer ironic. It’s absolute.

I made this to explore the moment when consequence stops feeling like consequence and becomes routine.

Artist Statement:

Not all decay devours. Some simply takes what is given.

“She Offered Herself to the Rot” is a portrait of stillness amidst collapse. The surrounding roots are not trees they are griefs that grew in silence. She does not fight them. She joins them.

This is not surrender. It is integration.

I wanted to capture what it looks like when someone no longer asks the world to remember her, but instead chooses to stay rooted, aware, unresisting.

Artist Statement:

Not all ruins collapse. Some open.

“She Stood Where the Wall Gave In” is a confrontation between the ornate and the inevitable. The architecture here isn’t just history it’s expectation. Culture. Gender. Beauty. Legacy.

And still, it buckles.

The red figure doesn’t mourn the loss. She acknowledges it. She doesn't avert her gaze. She is there to see it fall.

I wanted to depict the moment when everything meant to endure fails and someone finally faces it without flinching.

Artist Statement:

Some ceremonies are not performed. They’re endured.

“She Waited Where the Birds Remembered” takes place inside an impossible space: part ruin, part vessel, part memory. The birds do not mourn her. They mourn through her.

I built this image to evoke the stillness that follows destruction not the chaos, but the weight. She does not call to the birds. She simply waits among them, as if she already knew they'd come.

The structure isn’t a prison. It’s a reliquary. And she is not a victim. She is what remains when the story ends and the world has not yet begun again.

Artist Statement:

Identity is rarely forced it’s often volunteered. And over time, it becomes difficult to tell the difference.

“He Tightened It Without Thinking” is about the erosion of self beneath the performance of control. The Lamb doesn’t resist the mask. He adjusts it, reinforces it, perfects it. It’s no longer a costume. It’s routine.

The dirt is real. The blood is old. The fear is gone. Only the motion remains.

I created this piece to document what happens when ritual becomes second nature and when hiding becomes indistinguishable from becoming.

Artist Statement:

A woman walks the boundary between escape and repetition.

Each step forward is one she’s made before —

and still, she chooses beauty.

There is no train. There is only leaving.

Artist Statement:

"Intake"

This piece captures the threshold moment before assignment — before roles are enforced and identities are removed. The seated figure is still undefined. The standing figure is already consumed. In this corridor, power is ambient and silence is policy. The architecture doesn’t echo; it listens.
