Inversion of Intimacy explores the quiet crack that occurs when what is meant to remain tender and private is turned outward. Through materials that echo closeness and touch, the work examines how vulnerability transforms when exposed — how intimacy, once soft and internal, can invert into distance and tenderness, when vulnerability becomes empowerment through exposure and a revelation of ones own hidden spaces.
The structure itself holds tension between concealment and exposure, becoming metaphors for this shift. By turning the inside out, the work redefines closeness not as comfort, but as confrontation — an invitation to witness the fragile architecture of selfhood laid bare and open. Here, intimacy is no longer hidden; it is re-examined, and reassembled in a new, uncertain form.
