90 x 135 cm | Mixed Media on Canvas
"Awakening" is an unveiling—a shedding of a self-protective cloak to explore what it truly means to be human, with all our frailties laid bare. The mixed media elements, including acrylic paint and collage, weave together fragments of experience and emotion, creating a visceral and ever-evolving narrative.
In this unconventional portrait, the figure’s gaze and posture simultaneously beckon the viewer closer while offering a silent warning to stay away. It speaks to the universal human experience of inner conflict—the delicate tension between our longing for connection and our instinct for self-preservation.
Subtle optical illusions within the artwork invite viewers to look beyond the surface. As you focus on different areas or obscure one side, her face shifts—morphing from that of a young girl to a slightly older self. This fluctuation challenges perception, urging the viewer to question their initial impressions and embrace the complexity of identity and truth.
