In flux, fading, unfixed.
The figures are lingering in a liminal state, on the precipice of transformation. Reality as it is known is dissipating.
The images evoke both strength and vulnerability. It portrays the ambivalent nature of change where we may be prepared to lose some of ourselves in order to gain. Both resistance and surrender are simultaneously felt. The fading and blending of the figure can suggest a sense of oneness and connection. A loss of self-identity to become part of something bigger. Yet reluctance is reflected in the clenched fists, as if clutching to hang on.
