Break Me

Break Me explores the tension between love, desire, vulnerability, and threat through the figure of a woman dressed as a bride. Four crows surround and attack her as she runs through the landscape, separated from the surrounding darkness by the vivid presence of her blood. The bridal imagery introduces expectations of love, commitment, and happiness, while the attacking birds create a stark contrast between those ideals and the possibility of harm. The work reflects an awareness of the vulnerability that can accompany intimacy and relationships, particularly for women navigating the uncertainty of whom to trust. Love and danger exist simultaneously within the image, creating a narrative about the desire for connection alongside the need for self-protection.
