In Fragile Encounters, multiple faces and profiles are cut, layered, and compressed into a single, precarious structure. Figures overlap and interrupt one another, their gazes partially obscured by fragments of text and paper.
The work is constructed through an analogue collage process. Vintage Italian magazine images, graphic patterns, and textured surfaces are assembled into a vertical composition. A prominent timepiece anchors the work, introducing a sense of duration, suspended time. Subtle color accents punctuate the largely monochrome palette.
The title of the piece enters the image as obstruction rather than explanation, reinforcing the fragility of exchange. Rather than presenting confrontation as conflict, the work frames it as a condition of exposure: an unstable meeting shaped by closeness, fragmentation, and vulnerability.
