Hidden Feelings presents a delicate balance between structure and organic disruption. A network of thin rods crosses diagonally over a textured white surface, their intersections marked by loose black threads that dangle with a quiet sense of vulnerability. The interplay between the rigid grid and the fragile threads draws attention to moments of tension and release within the composition. In contrast, vertical strips made of natural reeds layered over a subtle gold background occupy the corners, introducing warmth and subtle complexity against the precise geometry. The piece invites reflection on how order and imperfection coexist, using restrained elements to evoke a nuanced dialogue between control and fragility
