This layered mixed media piece explores the emotional and cultural tension of living between extremes. Blue and red bleed into one another across the composition, forming purples that symbolize overlap, contradiction, and the complexity that exists beyond rigid political or social binaries. Fragmented faces, repeated eyes, circus imagery, and vintage depictions of women create a chaotic visual landscape reflecting surveillance, performance, repression, and emotional overload.
At its core, the work examines what it means to navigate instability — both publicly and privately — while attempting to reclaim autonomy, confidence, and identity within systems that often encourage division, silence, or conformity. Multiple storylines unfold simultaneously, mirroring the layered realities people carry beneath the surface.
