Suppressing the Sorrow

In the upper right, a face carries a sorrow that cannot be fully contained.The emotion remains present, not yet resolved.

In the lower left, another face attempts to suppress that sorrow through reason,holding itself together, trying to maintain composure.

Yet it cannot be completely erased—a faint trace still lingers beneath the surface.

This work portrays the tension between an emotion that cannot be entirely restrained and the expression that strives to remain calm.

The overlapping structure suggests not a conflict,but the simultaneous existence of feeling and reason.

I hope this piece quietly reminds you of the quiet strength it takes to maintain inner balance.
