FRAGILITY
Esteban Erosky
Spain

When our weaknesses, traumas, flaws, or idiosyncrasies are exposed, we become fragile.
We go from feeling secure to feeling insecure, to being vulnerable. Always showing ourselves makes us feel insecure, which is why in my pieces I address the topic of personal traumas in a humorous way, making laughter out of the tears of our fragility.
