How to Tame a Scorpio
Metal, textile, leather
This artwork plays with the human condition, using a scorpion as a mischievous metaphor for the mess of life, relationships, and self-discovery. Told through an absurd little narrative, it invites viewers to notice how vulnerability and strength keep swapping masks, sometimes in the same breath.
How to Tame a Scorpio weaves together mythology, psychology, and the natural world into a sideways self-portrait. The scorpion becomes a figurative trip through taming and softening: the awkward theatre of adolescence, and the ongoing negotiation between control and surrender, between holding on tight and letting the sting dissolve.
