Description
This work blurs the boundary between fragility and strength. The figure’s porcelain-like body, delicately adorned with intricate blue-and-white motifs reminiscent of antique ceramics, contrasts with delicate doll-like face — a portrait caught between object and feeling.
Her wistful gaze and soft features evoke a sense of timeless melancholy, while the heart-shaped void on her chest, suspended by raw strokes, symbolises vulnerability, longing, and the cracks we carry unseen. The contrast of refined ornamentation and raw painterly marks creates a juxtaposition of contemporary expression.
This piece captures themes of identity, beauty, and the balance between what we show and what we conceal. It is both decorative and deeply evocative — a statement artwork for collectors who value pieces that provoke thought as much as they beautify a space.
Part of the Impermanence Series of 100 portraits.
