The works in this section investigate the dual nature of protection, shelter, and armored vulnerability. Exploring protective shells, soft tissue containers, embroidered domestic talismans, and glass-and-iron barriers, these artists examine how the impulse to shield ourselves often reveals the very fragility we seek to hide. Through 3D filament pen, vintage textiles, mop floorcloth, glass, and rusted iron, their creations demonstrate that true armor is not impenetrable—rather, it is a delicate, evolving shelter where vulnerability and resilience intimately coexist.
