unintended ENTANGLEMENT

Unintended Entanglement grew from an interest in the complicated relationship between love, attachment and freedom.

​

The bird, traditionally a symbol of liberation, struggles against delicate threads that lead back to its most intimate relationships and the contradictions that often exist within those relationships. Love can bring comfort, connection and security, but it can also become entangled with fear, dependency and the desire to hold on, whether it is romantic love, sibling love or any other close bond.

​

The work reflects on the fragile balance between intimacy and freedom, and how easily care and attachment can become intertwined in ways that leave both love and independence under strain.
