Armor 2. Now It's Time to Take Care of Myself
The second work, Now It's Time to Take Care of Myself, speaks to the experience of growing up, breaking down, and blooming through trial and error, independence, and solitude. The artist rebuilds a family nucleus from a place of independence, creating a new nest and finding ways to protect and care for herself.
This piece reflects the need to find a sense of belonging and safety in a hostile world—returning to anchoring figures and the comforts of childhood, while creating a space of her own where she can feel safe and protected. The work becomes a symbol of resilience and the ability to flourish in the midst of adversity.
