“Quarantine” reflects on the contemporary human condition under isolation, questioning how confinement transforms not only our external behaviors but the very essence of self-identity. Drawing on the layered meanings of quarantine — as both a physical and psychological state — the work probes the boundaries between presence and absence, visibility and erasure.

The visual language of the work reflects the fragile balance between restriction and liberation, embodying the crisis of identity and transforming into a silent dialogue — a meditation on the tension between what has been lost and what might yet emerge.

In Quarantaine, movement and stillness coexist, reflecting the paradox of confinement: restriction can evoke both disorientation and insight. The gentle choreography of the fish becomes a poetic metaphor for human life in isolation — for the ways we navigate loneliness, seek communion, and reconstruct meaning within the invisible boundaries that contain us.

This work invites viewers to consider the tension between solitude and togetherness, loss and emergence, and to reflect on the subtle interplay of vulnerability and resilience that defines our contemporary condition.
