The fortress of frankness

Picture from the series "Borders and Spaces". We often mistake external nakedness for real openness, hiding the most important things behind impenetrable walls. Does the exterior always reflect the essence? Do we have the courage to reveal the inner fortress? Is the search for harmony between vulnerability and security successful in a world where trust becomes the biggest risk? This picture reveals a complex dichotomy between apparent openness and hidden internal prohibitions. The naked body here is a metaphor for obvious vulnerability and honesty, which gives the illusion of access to the depths of the personality. However, wooden doors with locks symbolize internal fortresses built from traumas, fears and barriers that do not allow to penetrate the outer shell. Are we able to let others in through these "doors" that hide our essence, or will we leave them closed, protecting our own world from external challenges? True openness requires great strength, which, unfortunately, we are not always capable of. My work here is the only copy of my unique and original handiwork.
