The artist depicts a moment when the soul is trapped. A bad look, a glance, an assessment can lock us in a mental prison. Sometimes someone else’s assessment locks us in, sometimes our own gaze becomes the most critical, and sometimes it is the voice of society that whispers: “Be like this, not different.” These locks are not visible, but they are real. We carry them within us – in our eyes, attitudes, silences. Like in this work, where people inside a sphere have lost their shape, identity, direction. They seem to be reaching for the light, but cannot escape.
