About the Work
I remember a cheap brown striped fold-out couch my parents bought for family visiting from out of town. It offered an uncomfortable night’s sleep on a metal bar disguised as a mattress. Back then, cheap and uncomfortable were acceptable.
I used to sit behind it while my mom read the classics to my siblings and me. We all cried when Beth died in Little Women. I remember it as if it were yesterday.
Sometimes I’d peek around the side or lift my head over the top, just enough to stay connected to what was happening on the other side.
There’s something freeing about being hidden.
You hear instead of see. You feel instead of notice. You get to exist without being available.
Periscope is part of The Hiding Place series, which explores the inner sanctuaries we create to survive the storms of life—hidden spaces where the self can rest, reflect, and remain intact. Through layered texture, color, and abstraction, these works become quiet places to retreat and exhale.
