This series explores childhood and education as spaces where identity, memory, and perceptions of the world are formed. The artist employs symbols such as fairy tales, framing, and wrapping to invite reflection on how learning environments shape a child’s inner world.
The works focus on contrasts — between light and darkness, protection and restriction, individuality and structure. Rather than offering definitive conclusions, the series encourages viewers to consider how childhood narratives are constructed and what may remain beneath the surface.
