 Exhibited at Otaniemi Campus, Espoo, Finland (14–25 February 2017), this suspended sculpture/lamp combines puppet-like qualities with rigid, alien forms. The work explores female alienation, societal pressure, and the interplay of vulnerability and strength. The metallic glaze evokes otherworldly matter, while the illuminated skull symbolises internal resilience. The title suggests anonymity, discrimination, and statistical depersonalisation, resonating with the body’s silhouette as the letter X |  Plain X in an exhibition in the Learning Center, Otaniemi. |  Plain X in the sculpture workshop, where it was created. |

 |  ‘Solitude’ depicts a human state of duality, a cognitive dissonance in which the self is torn between our own perception and how others perceive us. The struggle to reconcile these perspectives deepens the gap between our inner world and the external environment. |  |

It explores guilt transfer, linking historical ritual, biblical scapegoating, and Christ’s crucifixion. Toys in the composition symbolize sin and blame shifted onto the child, examining enduring patterns of moral and social responsibility. |
