The Cost of Access explores family estrangement, emotional distance, and the grief that accompanies restricted relationships. A chain-link fence separates figures who long for connection, while heart motifs emphasize the enduring bonds that persist despite barriers. The work was created in response to the artist's experience navigating limited access to beloved family members.
The piece asks viewers to consider the emotional price paid when relationships become conditional or controlled.
