Description:

Titled "Broken," this artwork portrays cupped hands cradling small, shattered eggshells. The arms and hands stand out sharply against an embossed, woven nest that they transition into. The juxtaposition highlights the delicate balance between safety and fragility, suggesting that even within a secure space, vulnerability and brokenness can arise. Executed through a collagraph drypoint technique with woven embossing, the piece delves into themes of protection, vulnerability, and the inevitable unraveling of safety.
