I AM AVOIDANT explores avoidant attachment through themes of identity, culture, and emotional detachment. African wax textiles create bold textures that mirror resilience and fragmentation, while a golden crown symbolizes sovereignty and transformation. John Bowlby’s attachment theory is inscribed, grounding the work in the universal need for connection. At its core, a love letter to the artist’s inner child confronts and reconciles avoidance, opening space for healing.
