Vulnerability Vs. Strength

Vulnerability and Strength are often regarded as separate and opposite qualities which cannot possibly coexist. This perception of vulnerability as a weakness has amplified my aversion towards exposing my own fragilities, making me ever more guarded. However, when creating art, I am forced into this state – my intentions only come across when my emotions are fully exposed. For this reason, I set out to redefine my perception of vulnerability through art, learning how it can be reframed as a strength and ultimately facing it, rather than avoiding it.
