Life Shrinks or Expands In Proportion to One’s Courage by Britt Freda
Set your screen once. Hold a bank card against the screen and slide until the orange outline matches its width.

This is the photograph at true size, for placing it in your room with your phone. Its sides and back will appear here after the studio capture — we will not invent them.

The surface under moving light

This view is built only from real photographs of the work, each lit from a different angle, so you can move the light yourself and watch the real surface answer. It is being captured in the studio and will appear here. Until then we show nothing rather than an imitation.

“It is essential to compel a person to love something before they'll risk what it takes to defend it.”— Britt Freda

Watercolor and acrylic layered on paper, the Anaïs Nin quotation embedded directly into the surface. Freda treats text as compositional element — the letters carry the same chromatic weight as the marks around them. The courage the quote names is held in the act of layering, not stated.
