Exhibition Flow

Each work is grounded in the square or rectangle, used as ritual structure—walls, boundaries, blocks of silence. But with each new image, something starts to grow through the structure.

Starting with the bold, opaque containment (piece 1), and ending with the final vertical growth (piece 6), the community of recursive squares tells a coherent story of inner blossoming through restraint.

The aesthetic vocabulary draws from printmaking traditions, minimalism, and ritual abstraction. Each square acts as a meditative window, and together the six works chart a clear narrative arc—from suppression to resilience, fracture to quiet strength.

Unifying Elements

This series reflects an introspective progression from containment to growth. Using vessel and botanical forms within rigid geometric frameworks, the artist explores the emotional terrain of surrender: relinquishing control, resisting negative collective forces, and reclaiming inner quiet.

Installation

• Linear hanging recommended for narrative flow; spiral or modular layout possible for alternative interpretation.

Poetic Captions

1. HELD

I shaped myself to hold more than I could carry.
The structure stood firm.
So I folded inward,
tightly wrapped in stillness.

2. ROOT

Even silence seeks direction.
Beneath the grid,
the breath of something
old and patient began to stir.

3. EDGE

Not all fractures break.
I leaned into the boundary
and found it trembling,
already soft at the seams.

4. CRACK

What begins as fracture becomes form.
The pressure split the line—
not to destroy,
but to invite the next shape.

5. ECHO

The part of me I left behind still listens.
Two vessels, two voices—
one reaching,
the other remembering.

6. YIELD

I surrendered nothing but the weight.
The form remained,
but this time,
I chose what would grow within it.
