Artwork Description

Look And Be Yourself.

84.0 x 119.0 cm

History is frustrating: I kissed girls when I was a joyful child. My father was jealous. He became hard. My anxiety stemmed from feeling wrong no matter what I did or said. He wants me to stay away from women. My life became challenging; I faced bullying and felt fear when contacting or engaging in conversation. I hid my true self, attempting to avoid detection. The lack of love made me depressed! With a plate inserted in her lip, earplugs, cozy blankets over her shoulders, and a headdress adorned with feathers and sticks, I have depicted a calm, tribal woman who looks different. However, the silver grid before her implies her imprisonment in the western world, devoid of love. Patterns like dots and zigzag lines symbolize a simple, calm, and liberated tribal life. Butterflies are wonderful and deserve attention and appreciation, just like cute humans. Frustration without love is the keyword. The eye circles indicate that I see ladies I want but feel hesitant and terrified of.
