Caution Is Not Care explores the quiet violence of being treated as a hazard.

Wrapped in industrial warning tape, the figure stands exposed yet restricted. The repeated CAUTION becomes a substitute for care, a language of distance disguised as responsibility. This piece speaks to the experience of a body perceived as dangerous: avoided, monitored, softened only enough to be tolerated.

The pose recalls classical portraiture, but the intrusion of contemporary warning tape fractures the illusion of safety. What should shield instead isolates. What should signal care only enforces distance.
