Flight Risk

“Flight Risk” captures the delicate tension between vulnerability and danger. A porcupine—bristling with sharp quills—stands in a room of checkered uncertainty, surrounded by fragile red balloons. Its very nature is a threat to the joy and freedom the balloons represent. The single popped balloon at its feet is a quiet testament to unintended destruction, evoking the fragility of innocence and the inevitability of harm when fear and defense coexist with lightness and hope.
