Cowards reflects on avoidance, emotional distance, and the quiet damage caused by a lack of honest communication. Depicting the backs of feet turned away, the work symbolizes the instinct to retreat rather than confront difficult truths directly.
The piece explores the frustration and loneliness that can arise when meaningful conversations are avoided, when fear, discomfort, or self-preservation prevent genuine connection. Through gesture and absence, the work examines cowardice not as loud aggression, but as withdrawal, silence, and the refusal to face what matters.
