Safe Yourself
“Safe Yourself” is an exhibition exploring identity and the tension between self-perception and external perception. It ties into the Biennale’s theme, “Foreigners Everywhere,” with a focus on the foreigner within—the parts of ourselves that feel unfamiliar, particularly the discrepancy between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us. Green’s contribution to this theme is expressed through two major works: one abstract and one figurative. These paintings represent a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious self. The abstract piece delves into the complexities of internal, often subconscious identity, while the figurative painting offer a more outward-facing, literal interpretation of self, representing how we project ourselves to the world. Together, these works create a compelling narrative about the multifaceted nature of identity and self-representation.
