"I Know I Don't Know You, But I Want You So Bad" (2024): Inspired by Maroon 5's Secret, this piece offers an intimate look at a Double Column Tie in shibari, focusing on the intricate details of the knot itself. The absence of a figure draws attention to the rope, reflecting the artist's own experience of exploring this art form with a mix of shyness and vulnerability. The use of copper, gold, blue, yellow, green, and pink captures the emotional depth of learning a skill that is deeply desired yet difficult to share with others.
