Relief and Reality

This piece portrays two faces that exist within the same body,yet are not looking at the same truth.

The left face appears calm, wrapped in a sense of comfort as if nothing is wrong.But the right face has begun to notice the feelings and realities that quietly hide beneath that sense of relief.

We are always caught between the part of us that wants to stay safe and the part of us that can no longer pretend.This work explores that silent split and the unavoidable reality that lives inside.

This artwork serves as a gentle invitation to look toward the “reality” and “true feelings”we might have been able to ignore while staying only in relief.It doesn’t force confrontation or push you forward—instead, it simply guides your gaze toward what is truly there,quietly and at your own pace.
