Fractured

"Fractured": A Reflection of Distorted Self-Image

In "Fractured," I explore the dissonance between societal expectations and personal identity. This flower oil painting serves as a metaphor for the fragmented self, distorted by the constant influx of social media's curated ideals.

We are bombarded with manipulated images, perpetuating unattainable standards of beauty, success, and happiness. This cacophony of external voices can lead to a disconnection from our authentic selves, hindering our ability to cultivate a genuine sense of identity.

Through "Fractured," I invite viewers to contemplate the tension between conformity and self-discovery. The fractured petals and disjointed composition symbolize the disjointed nature of our self-perception, as we struggle to reconcile our true selves with the idealized versions presented to us.

Ultimately, this piece encourages introspection, urging us to look beyond the distorted reflections of social media and instead, focus on nurturing our unique, authentic selves.
