An elegant presence, standing upright, in a position of fragile balance. The uncontrolled movement of the body, whose head, curiously, seems to be cut off, missing—an allegory of fragility, of disintegration, a metaphor for the lost fragments of the self. It invites reflection on interconnectedness, between the natural flow of life and modern interventions, highlighting the idea of transformation, transition, and evolution.
