Security Unfolding is a series of artworks crafted from discarded security envelopes collected over two years. By repurposing these commonplace materials, each piece becomes a visual metaphor for the often-hidden struggles associated with various forms of societal insecurity. Unfolding the envelopes reveals the intricate patterns originally designed to safeguard privacy. Once transformed into mixed-media collages, these envelopes contrast sharply with their initial purpose, reflecting the widening gap between abundance and deprivation. This artistic approach not only exposes the pervasive nature of everyday insecurity but also invites viewers to contemplate their own roles in creating a more equitable and supportive society.
