Puzzled Lips is the first piece in my lip collection — and it carries all the weight of starting something new. Built on layers of recycled material, including an old sweatshirt of mine, it holds memory at its core.
On the surface, ceramic lips emerge, surrounded by textured red and gold, then bound by chains and screws. The lips are full, but silenced. Expressive, yet trapped. They represent the struggle between wanting to speak and being held back — a puzzle of voice and power.
This piece is about conflict and resilience. About beauty that doesn’t come easy. About how even when chained, the lips still exist boldly, defiantly, refusing to disappear.

Medium: Ceramic, chains, screws, resin, layered textiles (including recycled sweatshirt) on canvas
