Original artwork.

Two figures face each other against red and pink fields: a passerby in a safety jacket, a woman in bright sunglasses, and a bird mid-flight.
Open the bag. It’s hard to connect when we’re overburdened. The life-vest jacket stands for emotional self-protection; the sunglasses for our reflex to avoid seeing problems—ours or others’; the bird is a metaphor for release. The work urges us to let go—open your bag and free yourself from what weighs you down.
