Kaari Upson — Crib (Clean)
Kaari Upson

Crib (Clean)

Kaari Upson's *Crib (Clean)* presents an unsettling exploration of childhood, intimacy, and the psychological weight of domestic objects. The work channels Upson's signature preoccupation with memory, identity, and the uncanny, transforming a familiar object associated with safety and infancy into something charged with vulnerability and unease. Through her lens, the ordinary becomes a site of complex emotional and psychological excavation.
