Too Fragile When You are Close - masterclass work by Viktorija Domarkaite

Viktorija Domarkaite presents her video alongside of neckpiece and performance for masterclass RITUAL. This project raises questions of loosing mental strenght and its importance for human personality. 

I would like to believe I was strong back then, at least I thought I was - until I became too open to someone. This raised a question for me - if I am as strong as I think I am and I will let someone close and open my heart, will this automatically mean that I will lose myself, my strength, my protection?
Time went on and unfortunately it did mean exactly that. With every minute I became weaker, with every day I allowed more and more to be taken care of, with every week I lost who I used to be.

A dreadful idea of losing my strength and becoming fragile when letting someone in, was the main reason I did not want to feel anything to anyone, ever...
