Breaking Tradition presents a vertically layered composition where contrasts of texture and form create a nuanced dialogue between fragility and strength. The upper section’s handmade paper, worn and imperfect, reveals a hidden, rusted metal beneath—suggesting resilience beneath vulnerability. Below, the glossy, gathered satin intertwined with rigid chicken wire offers a dynamic tension, balancing softness against an underlying structure. The lower portion’s subtle hexagonal wire pattern, tinted with natural rusty hues, grounds the piece with an organic rhythm that echoes the themes of endurance and transformation. Through this carefully orchestrated arrangement, the artwork invites contemplation on the delicate balance between preservation and breaking free, weaving together elements that both resist and embrace change.
