Vulnerability embodies the rawness of fear, shame, and our quest for worthiness. Yet, it is also the cradle of creativity, joy, love, and belonging. To be vulnerable is to unveil oneself, to embrace one’s nakedness, and to lean into every flaw. It’s a daunting endeavor, yet essential for growth, love, and transformation.
But when do we truly allow ourselves to be vulnerable? When do we reflect on how we wish to navigate our lives? When do we dive deep into what matters most? Is it in the quiet of night, when the masks fall away? Is it during our solitary moments?
“Time Off” is a collection of eight large pieces crafted from watercolor paper and wood panel. This series delves into the nuanced experiences of individuals, often seen as pillars of strength, yet captured in moments of vulnerability. It invites contemplation on the very questions we all grapple with, exploring the heart of our shared human experience.
