2026

The three acrylic paintings begin with the desire to escape. What starts as the wish to leave a small room gradually expands into the longing to break away from invisible emotional burdens such as pressure, excessive love, the gaze of others, and uncertainty. The room becomes more than a physical space—it serves as a metaphor for emotional confinement. The paintings exist at the threshold between staying and leaving. The outside appears to promise freedom, yet remains distant and unreachable. Escape is not presented as a destination, but as the possibility of imagining another way of existing. Rather than offering an exit, the works reflect a shared desire to break free from emotional constraints. They focus on the fragile moment of longing for freedom, where the act of imagining escape already becomes the beginning of transformation.
