‘Scream’ is a deeply personal and contemporary exploration of the turmoil surrounding migration, displacement, and the loss of self amidst global chaos. The piece, a 3D powder print of the artist’s face (≈25% larger than reality) captured mid-scream, exists inside a used cardboard box—a symbol of containment, concealment, and disposability.

The boxed scream speaks to the silent anguish experienced by countless individuals forced to move, relocate, or escape. Hidden within the seemingly opaque and unremarkable surface of the cardboard lies the intensity of human emotion: fear, anger, and grief. The work is not just about the scream but the unsettling reality that these screams often remain unheard, boxed away, perfectly sealed from view.

The box represents the ways in which society attempts to compartmentalize trauma, rendering invisible the very real suffering contained within. It is a confrontation with the performativity we all engage in, bound within the contorted frameworks of control and repression. A boxed scream—at once raw and restrained, both present and obscured. the scream comes in the box it's shipped in.
