\*\*What: Exploration of Fragility\*\*

The series "Fragile Bodies" delves into the intertwining themes of environment, neurodivergence, and personality, capturing the delicate yet resilient essence of the human body and psyche.

  
\*\*Why: Symbolic Choices and Conceptual Depth\*\*

Utilizing egg tempera and honey as fixatives for copper pigments, the artwork communicates fragility through intricate patterns resembling tears, emphasizing copper's vulnerability to environmental shifts. The vibrant watercolor-painted flowers symbolize the profound impact of climate change on humanity, highlighting the fleeting nature of time and the vital role of blossoming in species survival. The crystallized patterns derived from human cells add a layer of complexity, inviting contemplation on psychological "patterns" as both a key and an inevitable aspect of the human experience.

  
\*\*How: Artistic Techniques and Collage Composition\*\*

The meticulous application of egg tempera and honey, the skillful use of watercolor for the flowers, and the creation of crystallized patterns through prints demonstrate the artist's technical prowess. The collage, featuring a bee immersed in copper particles as the head of the human figure, serves as a powerful metaphor for the significance of pollinators. Bees sourced from a soap factory, facing mortality, symbolize the fragility imposed by human actions on their ecosystem. This collage endeavors to shed light on both the psychological challenges faced by humans and the unfolding ecological tragedy with a poignant visual narrative.
