No Strings Attached is a reminder and an illustration of how you need to stay true to yourself. My body of work is a series that examines my personal progression towards a sense of self. The red strings represent control and tension and conflict within my sense of self. The fifth piece conveys how I reached a state of acceptance and peace after breaking away from unwanted, outdated and dominating forces that at some stage moulded me into a marionette.
