Flare

Flare isolates a moment of outward pressure—where internal stress breaches the surface. A central vertebra-like form is interrupted by a cluster of spike-like protrusions that extend unevenly, suggesting both rupture and reactive growth. The contrast between polished and darkened surfaces emphasizes the shift between contained structure and exposed response. Rather than depicting pain, the work examines how force redistributes through the body when stability begins to fail.
