The fantasize and romanticize of someone who’s emotionally unavailable, you create an idea of them that you don’t know is true. You make excuses for their distance, even when it’s clear they’re emotionally blocked off.

In this piece, I represent this idea with the fencing and the alluring red yarn that catches your attention at first. It draws you in, just like how we’re often pulled into a fantasy.Transparent paper, transfer paper, and cyanotype chemicals. These elements leave an imprint on the piece, like the subtle marks left on you by unfulfilled longing, lingering even when you can’t see them clearly.
