From a very young age, the message is clear: be yourself. And also: fit in. Compete. Contribute. Align.
The contradiction is rarely named.
This work traces what that contradiction produces — figures intertwined, a structure that holds together while distributing its weight unevenly. Some rise. Some carry. Most somewhere in between, uncertain of how they got there.
The collaboration was never really optional.
