This series of abstract forms explores the entanglement of toxic relationships, merging a woman’s figure with a snake, both knotted into rope. The clear resin symbolizes false clarity amid confusion. The central knot represents the inescapable bind of harmful connections, tightening with every attempt to break free. The snake, often a symbol of wisdom, here reflects the seduction of staying in something wrong yet familiar. These works capture the emotional toll of struggling between freedom and entrapment.
