No Fear

The sculpture "No Fear" gains profound meaning in light of recent conversations with survivors of

enforced disappearances. A recent discussion highlighted the psychological torment of having

one's head covered during captivity. The uncertainty about one's surroundings, the intentions of

psychological oppression faced by countless individuals. This piece intuitively captured an aspect

of their suffering, making "No Fear" a poignant reflection on the human cost of power and control
