Bonds Without Distance, 2026
Mixed media on printed fabric
40 x 50 cm
This work explores the delicate line between physical solitude and spiritual wholeness. The white space in the photograph is not merely a background; it represents the silence of the child’s inner world, perhaps unfulfilled desires or a feeling that has been lost. Yet, this emptiness is not entirely solitary.

Where the Light Enters, 2026
Mixed media on printed fabric
40 x 50 cm
The window functions both as a boundary and a passage. In this work, we witness the child’s gaze toward the outside world, perhaps toward the future. While the photograph remains fixed on fabric like a frozen memory, the addition of a real fabric curtain introduces movement. This “opened curtain” is not merely decorative, but symbolizes the child’s courage and hope to step beyond their own world.

The Touch of Imagination, 2026
Mixed media on printed fabric
40 x 50 cm
In this work, the child beneath the blanket exists not only in a physical space, but within a world of their own imagination. Although the image is printed on fabric, the addition of a real textile blanket and layered materials evokes the delicate boundary between “Reality” and “Imagination”.

Three Shadows of Silence, 2026
Mixed media on printed fabric
40 x 50 cm
In this work, home is found in the quiet refuge of a cat’s purring. The blurred, slightly distorted image of the child reflects the chaos of the surrounding world, while the three large cat figures layered onto the surface act as living shields, protecting the child from that chaos. Each stitched thread becomes a tangible expression of care and affection.
