Interlude

This painting captures the essence of a face as a canvas for the complexities of thought. Employing stratification as a technique, layers of color and texture represent the intricate thrusts of the mind, revealing how external influences can distort personal perception. The work illustrates the way others' thoughts can infiltrate our own, leading to a disconnection from authentic self-expression. The fragmented features convey a sense of losing oneself in the rush of life, emphasizing how a hurried existence can blur the lines of reality. As imagination fades, the clarity of one's identity begins to dissolve, leaving an impression of absence. This piece invites viewers to reflect on the importance of remaining grounded in their own thoughts amidst the cacophony of external pressures.
