Elusive Cocoon
Elusive Cocoon explores the need to withdraw and protect yourself. This can create a sense of safety, but it can also hold you back and disconnect you from the outside world. The works search for a form of protection that still leaves space to move forward.
A cocoon suggests both protection and transformation, while elusive refers to something difficult to grasp or reach. Together, they describe the search for a safe place that protects without completely closing you off.

Each drawing sits in a frame built from a distinct chromatic combination. One rests in palisander, light ash, and red; another moves through olive, orange, and granada; a third gathers violet, mint, and pink; the fourth opens into yellow, blue, and cherry. Each palette holds its own balance between enclosure and release, warmth and air, density and movement. Together, the frames echo Elusive Cocoon itself: protection remains vital when it can shift, breathe, and make room for change.
