In this series, the figure is deprived of stability—both physical and psychological. It no longer relies on space and cannot maintain its own boundaries, gradually shifting toward states of distortion, compression, or disappearance. The body is not presented as a source of strength; instead, it becomes a site of vulnerability through which inner tension is revealed.

The works are united by a sense of instability: figures deform, lose coherence, become isolated, or dissolve into environments that fail to support their presence. In some cases, the human form exists on the edge—between appearing and vanishing, between form and its loss.

“Fragile Figure” is not a depiction of weakness as a trait, but an exploration of a condition in which a person can no longer rely on either external structures or internal stability. It is an attempt to capture the moment when stability ceases to be a given and becomes a question.
