Original artwork description:

The structure of the shell, it's spiral interior, is the perfect place to withdraw and isolate. The shell is the space where life is lived only through fantasies and dreams. The woman is unable to find an efficient way to move in real life and struggles to adjust, however remaining trapped.

Part of the collection "The Poetics of Space"

(I have always been interested in spaces in dreams (rooms, labyrinths, passages etc.) and my research lead me to Gaston Bachelard's "The poetics of Space". I found in that book many images, symbols and thoughts I had been using in my work and in my fantasies since I was a child. Shells, nests, connected rooms, caves and shelters are some of the spaces that inspire me.)
