Horizontal Violence
These four sculptures do not speak of loud acts, but of the quiet traces that accumulate unnoticed in everyday life.
They invite us to consider violence not as a single event, but as a way of relating that gradually takes shape between people.
Because some wounds are not inflicted all at once; they emerge over time.
And sometimes the real question is not what was done, but what was left absent while standing side by side.
" Unacknowledged "
The body is present, yet unseen.
Its existence is undeniable,
yet it slowly disappears from our attention.

" Constricted "
A body capable of movement, yet denied the space to exist freely.
No visible barrier stands in its way;
only a space that grows steadily smaller.

" Distorted "
A body whose voice arrives altered.
Its intention remains unchanged;
its meaning transforms before it is received.

" Collapse Within "
What remains is the silence that follows.
Outwardly, it still stands;
inwardly, it bears the weight of exhaustion.
