I keep you safe
„I keep you safe“, Mixed Media, 40x55x15 cm, 2023
"I Keep You Safe" is a piece that arrests the viewer with its haunting imagery and tactile depth. This evocative artwork presents a destroyed face, sculpted in fine detail, nestled within a rugged, textured background. The focal point of the piece is a hand that cradles the fragmented face, its touch seemingly both tender and destructive.
The hand itself appears rough and weathered, suggesting a history of both care and hardship. Its fingers are positioned delicately around the face, which despite its brokenness, retains a poignant sense of vulnerability and fragility. The interplay between the hand and the face invites a multitude of interpretations.
Ponder the duality inherent in the artwork. Is the hand a gentle, healing presence, offering solace and protection to the damaged visage? Or is it, perhaps, the very force responsible for the face's ruin, its touch carrying both the power to create and to destroy?
This ambiguity is central to the piece's impact. The viewer is left to reflect on the nature of protection and destruction, and how these opposing forces can sometimes be intertwined. Does the hand signify a nurturing guardian, striving to preserve what little remains? Or does it embody the harsh realities of existence, where even acts of care can inadvertently lead to harm? "I Keep You Safe" challenges to explore the complex dynamics of human connection and the impact it can have.
The textures and colors in "I Keep You Safe" further enhance this narrative. The muted, earthy tones convey a sense of age and endurance, while the rough surface evokes a visceral, almost painful connection to the materiality of the piece.
