The study Turtle Behind the Window is primarily about the boundaries we build around ourselves. The red turtle inside the blue circle looks as if it is in its own protected universe. The blue circle acts as a glass or a porthole through which the turtle observes the green stripes in the background—the outside world, which is close, yet unreachable. It is about that feeling of being calmly enclosed in your own bubble, quietly watching what is happening out there.
