While making this piece, I kept wondering who I might have been if I hadn’t carried certain emotional wounds. Maybe I would have been more peaceful, more confident, more at ease in the world.
The hunched back reflects that weight — the quiet ways our experiences shape us.
But over time I realised something else: the same vulnerability that once felt like damage has also made me a better listener, more attentive, and more sensitive to others.
This figure is a small tribute to that vulnerability as something not to hide, but something that has shaped who I am.
