In Armored Silence, the central figure meets the viewer’s gaze through dark lenses, her form layered with fractured glass, metallic edges, and textural depth. The work is created on paper that the artist formed from torn personal notes: pulped, reconstituted, and shaped into a textured sheet using traditional papermaking techniques. This surface, infused with traces of private thought, becomes the ground for embedded fragments and hand-applied details. The composition reflects the tension between self-protection and exposure, the moonlike orb and scattered shards suggesting inner landscapes in flux, a moment suspended between decision and action.
