About Fragile Keep Up

Built from battered wood, worn metal, and salvaged imagery,
Fragile Keep Up invites viewers into a structure at once recognizable and unsettling.

• A skeletal frame — part house, part gallows — leans precariously overhead, bearing the weight of daily survival.

• Red, battered cooking pans dangle like half-forgotten trophies, domestic relics that once nourished but now clang hollowly against time.

• An abacus — broken, still dangling — suggests a forgotten accounting of days, meals, hopes, debts.

• Ghostly faces peer through the layers: one screaming in disbelief, one resigned to invisibility.

• Throughout the assemblage, textures of rust, weathered wood, and rough cloth turn what might have been a refuge into a fragile relic.

• The title, Fragile Keep Up, reads as both warning and dare —
  a reminder that existence itself often feels cobbled together, swinging loosely on nails and memory.

The piece doesn’t mourn collapse.
It simply acknowledges it:
We live in homes like these.
We build lives like these.
We keep going anyway.
