A rumination on the intricate relationship between self and adornment
The figure is a canvas, rich with adornment, navigating the duality between hiding behind beauty and using it as a language. The layers of silk and gold can be either a fortress or a form of self-expression. This is the conversation the figure carries with itself daily, choosing its adornment as a way of speaking about its inner world without a single word.
The richness of the exterior reflects the richness of the interior, finding a point where the line between them disappears. Here, adornment becomes a form of self-assertion rather than self-concealment.
