The title, "Little Person," hints at a narrative of introspection and self-expression. The installation seems to emerge from a place of numbness, where safety takes on the dual nature of both refuge and imprisonment. It draws parallels to the sterile environment of a padded cell or the intimate, yet often restricting, confines of a child's bedroom.
