What I Shouldn’t Have Said

This piece captures the moment when a contained emotion becomes rupture. The female figure, eyes closed and hand over her mouth, seems to have said something she shouldn’t —or felt something she couldn’t hold.

From that intimate gesture, her face begins to fragment, as if the body responds to what can no longer be kept inside.

“What I Shouldn’t Have Said” is a visual metaphor for the power of the sigh, the word, the silence that breaks. A contemplation of the moment when the internal becomes fragment.
