Title: Apart
Medium: Charcoal on paper Size: 45.7 cm by 61 cm Date of Completion: April 11th, 2021 Exhibition Text
Celebrating the conflicts of silenced vulnerability, "Apart" takes inspiration from the tormented figures of digital illustrator DestinyBlue. In relation to one of her pieces, "Sew Closed my Soul", my illustration expresses means of self-preservation in order to limit outward expressions of emotional vulnerability, fearing these declarations would be misinterpreted as signs of weakness. The use of a synthetic figure as well as its grey composition contribute to its desolate tone as well. |
