**Armored Silence** emerges from an encounter with boundaries—physical, emotional, and spatial. Moving between states of home and isolation, body and role, visibility and silence, the series traces how motherhood, migration, and shifting family dynamics redraw the contours of the self.

Mannequins function here not as objects, but as traces of bodily memory: faceless carriers of skin, reflection, and light. Foil, leather, and plastic form a second skin—a capsule, a shield—where protection and disappearance become inseparable. Rather than a linear narrative, the work constructs a psychological space for inner echoes: a tension between concealment and exposure, the need to hide alongside the longing to be seen.

Each image holds intentional incompleteness. Silence becomes material—compressed, armored—until even the question is softer than breath.
