Precarious Resonance:

Precarious Resonance is a sculptural suite that examines the intersection of vulnerability, authority, and the tension between interior life and public expression. These works reflect on the fragility of presence in a world where perception and impact are in constant negotiation, and where power—whether institutional, emotional, or symbolic—rests on uncertain ground.

In Platform, a microphone becomes a black marble match head poised above a field of striking paper—a visual metaphor for the combustible nature of public speech and cancel culture. It suggests how the act of speaking out, especially from positions of marginality or dissent, is both necessary and perilous. Blooming Ember presents a bronze smoking pipe ending in a fragile flower, exploring the contradiction between habit and tenderness, and how private moments of vulnerability emerge from hardened routines.

On Guard fuses a chair with a whistle, examining the psychological weight of being ever-watchful—particularly in roles where authority must be maintained while one’s own needs recede. Finally, Palmistry replaces palm lines with a spider web, a poetic transformation that reimagines fate as entanglement, offering a nuanced view of identity as shaped by unpredictability and unresolved tension.

Together, these works challenge fixed notions of strength, casting power not as dominance, but as a condition continuously negotiated between assertion and fragility.
