“INTRISTICALLY SAFE”
Etching, Aquatint 
48 x 37 (cm)

With this piece I want to express how coffee makes me feel. Could it be a cumbersome morning or a monotonous tiring day, it always provides me a little peaceful break. When I drink my coffee, I can escape to my inner world. For a moment I do not pay attention to anyone or anything. I just disappear.

In this piece, there is a curled up woman's body, which reminds us for a coffee bean. And as she submerges herself into the coffee liquid, she does not sink. She floats, and becomes one with it.
