"Locked Vulnerabilities" is a silent ceramic installation that delves into the human condition of vulnerability, peeling back the layers of human emotion to expose the hidden intricacies of our inner worlds. The locks are symbolic of the way individuals often conceal their vulnerabilities, hidden from the world, yet holding the potential for liberation within. The piece is a metaphor for the alchemy of transformation, where the shades of fire purify and mark the clay, much like the process of self-discovery purifies the human spirit. 

The intent behind this work is to destigmatise inner vulnerabilities and encourage personal liberation from traditional conditioning, ultimately paying tribute to the courage required for self-discovery.
