- Is it safe to leave my shell?
Original artwork description
The structure of the shell, it's spiral interior, is the perfect place to withdraw and isolate. The shell is the space where life is lived only through fantasies and dreams. The woman makes an effort to fight against her fears and confront the loud life.
Part of the collection "The Poetics of Space"
(I have always been interested in spaces in dreams (rooms, labyrinths, passages etc.) and my research lead me to Gaston Bachelard's "The poetics of Space". I found in that book many images, symbols and thoughts I had been using in my work and in my fantasies since I was a child. Shells, nests, connected rooms, caves and shelters are some of the spaces that inspire me.)
