THE TENDER FRACTURE

There is a moment just before something breaks where it becomes its most exquisite. This collection enters that liminal state—a place where forms melt, identities distort, and the boundary between the body and the sculptural dissolves into something viscous and volatile. These beings do not wear masks—they become them. Their faces, once discernible, now dissolve into liquid architectures that shimmer with sensuality and suggestion. There is a quiet tension in the way they yield and resist, held mid-transformation as if caught between unveiling and retreat. These figures are not undone—they are becoming. Alongside them rise sculptural entities that echo their forms—dark, gleaming, slick with gloss. Are they remnants of what the beings have shed? Future bodies waiting to be inhabited? They sit in uncanny dialogue, abstract yet strangely familiar, mirroring back the erotic tension and sculptural defiance of the portraits. This series continues the exploration of the self as mutable, of the body as vessel, and of form as emotion made visible. What emerges is a world both opulent and unsettling—where dissolution becomes language, and beauty lies in the precise moment of disintegration.
