Presented in the solo exhibition of the same name at Vartai Gallery.
Rooted in military references, the piece reflects on how volumes — human or object — are wrapped, covered, shielded, and concealed. The slipcover evokes both protective domestic traditions and funerary imagery, later echoed in pop culture’s ghost iconography. Sheets once used to guard furniture from dust — largely made of our own skin — became both a practical cover and a symbol of control, absence, and presence.
