This piece is called ‘Apacaya’, a Sanskrit word that means unmaking, dismantling, or wearing away.

One of the most difficult things in life is unlearning. Shedding old dynamics, old fears. Especially the ones that know how to disguise themselves. The ones that wear costumes and call themselves truth.

It is about unlearning. Not as forgetting, but as loosening. Letting go of what was taught, what was expected, what once made sense. The figures are close, but not fixed. Their expressions shift depending on where you stand.

Unmaking is not erasure. It is slow. It happens in conversation, in silence, in the space between people. This piece sits in that space.
