“Walking on Eggshells”
In my latest mixed media piece, I delve into the realm of digital art to convey the sensations of uneasiness and anxiety. Utilizing a variety of photo editing techniques, including textures and gradients, I create a visual representation of fragmented connections and internal turmoil that follows when navigating unexpected Through the manipulation of textures and gradients, I evoke a sense of disquiet and instability, reflecting the inner turmoil experienced during moments of anxiety.
“Bed Rest“
“Bed Rest” reflects the collision between internal fragility and external vitality. It is about the tension between wanting to fully experience life and being forced into retreat. The artwork captures both physical struggle and emotional isolation while acknowledging the strange beauty found in moments of stillness and recovery.
“Envy”
This piece, taking over five months to complete, stands as one of my most detailed and challenging works. It explores themes of unwanted attention, the fragility of beauty, and the envy it provokes in others. The intricate detailing reflects the emotional weight of navigating these experiences, with each line and texture symbolizing the complexity of external judgment and internal struggle.
The words within the artwork represent the complaints and dismissals I encountered when trying to express the emotional toll of constantly being pursued. These phrases capture the frustration of feeling misunderstood, of trying to explain the discomfort that comes with being objectified or envied. At the heart of the piece is a clock, symbolizing the fleeting nature of beauty—how it exists within a narrow window of time, constantly threatened by both external pressures and the inevitable passage of time itself. This piece not only speaks to the fragility of beauty but also to the emotional exhaustion of being reduced to it, highlighting the balance between admiration and invasion.
