specific armour used against tears, please stand by

A meditation on childhood, affect, and the performativity of resilience. These assemblages navigate the construction of inner attitude—a psychological terrain shaped through play, failure, and improvisation. Blurring distinctions between the ready-made and the hand-crafted, the works interrogate idealized narratives of innocence and the formation of subjectivity. Armour here is not merely defense but a mode of becoming, a sculptural articulation of psychological and emotional scaffolding. The work resists nostalgia, insisting on the formative frictions that constitute identity in motion.
