Acrylic on canvas 30 x 20 cm (oval canvas) For this piece, my message is that loneliness is fundamental. The separation of each heart symbolizes the mutual incomprehension between people, as we can never truly understand each other. The oval canvas echoes a heart’s shape; even within ourselves, there are uncomfortable truths – each represented by a heart – that we cannot accept, which heightens our isolation. The uneven, impressionistic brushstrokes surrounding the figure imply her view of the world is blurry due to her loneliness.
