Abstract 324 Print

An illusion of a city appears through the contrasting layers of this artwork. This city is a metaphor for people's nature to build walls to hide themselves from reality. The city depicted in the painting represents not only a physical structure but also a symbolic construct that people create in their minds. It reflects the inner barriers we build around ourselves to shield from pain, fear, and uncertainty. The intricate layers of the artwork symbolize the complexity of human emotions, inner conflicts, and hidden desires. Because of these layers, the city seems illusory, just like our own masks and defense mechanisms that we create to conceal our true essence. Yet, at the same time, this city captivates us with its mystery and allure. It represents a world of possibilities and potential that can be unlocked if we choose to break down our walls and embark on a journey of self-discovery. This painting urges us to contemplate our nature, to pay attention to our inner "cities," and encourages us to realize that beyond the walls, our true selves may be hiding. It inspires us to dare to shed our masks and walls, in order to find our authentic selves and genuine happiness within the embrace of reality.
