Researching the concept of ‘protection’ three installations are realised as poetic statements. It reveals the importance of understanding protection in a way that takes into account both vulnerability and resilience.

Installation 3 – Save/Safe
The trailer seems to levitate at night because of the neon lights underneath. Inside, the walls are covered with rescue blankets, its folding’s referring to bars of gold and safe's of a bank. On the wall a neon is showing the words 'save' and 'safe' by changing the f in a v every now and then.
