My space is one of Greens most significant pieces, created as a form of art therapy to the constant psychological and emotional abuse she was subjected to. Green reveals herself as an astronaut, isolated, protectively sitting on top of her world, surrounded by the light of her stars contemplating fight or flight. The fear of the consequences if she didn’t obey, the fear of the consequences if she did, Green temporarily surrenders with a white flag “I just need Space,” and 12 Zodiac signs that pierce out of the third scene and guide her to different typographies where she seeks refugee.
