"My Space," stands as one of Green's most profound triple scene paintings, conceived as a form of art therapy to navigate the enduring phycholgical and emotional abuse she faced. In this evocative work, Green depicts herself as an astronaut, isolated and protectively positioned atop her own world. Enveloped by the illumination of her stars, she contemplates the stark choices of fight or flight. The painting poignantly captures her deep-seated fear of the repercussions of both compliance and defiance. In a gesture of temporary surrender, she unfurls a white flag inscribed with the plea, " I just need Space." Surrounding this flag 12 Zodiac signs emerge from the third scene, guiding her towards various typographies where she seeks refuge and solace.
