unintended ENTANGLEMENT

Unintended Entanglement grew from an interest in the fragile balance between intimacy and freedom within our closest relationships.

​

The bird, traditionally a symbol of liberation, struggles against delicate threads that lead back to its most intimate relationships. The image reflects the contradictions that often exist within relationships.

Love can bring comfort, connection and security, but it can also become entangled with fear, dependency and the desire to hold on, whether in romantic or family relationships.

​

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.
