“‘Walking on Eggshells: Truth to Power and Justice’ explores the fragility of truth and the weight of justice. Each crushed shell marks the silence between justice and courage- what it costs to speak truth in a world uneasy with honesty. Through delicate yet resilient materials, this work reveals that justice, though fragile, is forged through vulnerability, persistence, and the quiet breaking that leads to transformation.”
