Plight

This painting depicts the moments when the surrounding world shrinks and becomes limiting; a narrative of a glass suffocation where the individual, under the sheer pressure of the environment, seeks refuge in a fetal position to protect themselves. The red lines and stains represent the onslaught of external pain, and even the presence of goldfish in that stagnant water cannot alleviate the heaviness and dead-end nature of this forced isolation. A piece in a pencil sketch style with symbolic elements to embody the sense of captivity and loneliness.
