THE SUN
November 2023
This piece explores the internal battle between light and darkness, embodying the weight of hidden struggles and secrets we all carry inside. The areas untouched by light represent the shadows we carry within, the scars inside and out—those unspoken parts of ourselves that can feel overwhelming and suffocating. The central figure's posture captures a moment of vulnerability and uncomfortability, questioning whether revealing these inner demons would change how others perceive us.
The quote, "If I told you about the darkness inside me, would you still look at me like I'm the sun?" echoes this fear of perception, highlighting the tension between ourselves in the eternal balance of image and reality. "The Sun" is a powerful reflection on the fear of judgment and the yearning for acceptance, even in our darkest, most uncomfortable, and vulnerable moments.
