Full Container (2022)

Dimensions: 21 cm x 29.7 cm
Medium: Etching print made with intaglio ink on paper

This etching print explores self as a contained vessel, trapped within the boundaries of a conventional mold. The dramatic portrayal of fish exploding out of a confined jar represents the depth and complexity of one's inner self, breaking free from the social norms which restrict authentic expression. The deformities of the fish also highlight the desperation and struggle one may face with self expression in a conservative environment. It also points out how those around may view the subject as "ugly" or "uncomforting" to look at.
