About the Artwork: Two empty chairs face each other beneath an empty frame. The white chair represents the side of ourselves we understand and allow other people to see. The black chair represents the parts we tend to hide, reject, or avoid.
Instead of fighting, the two sides are finally sitting across from one another. The empty frame above them represents an identity that is still taking shape. Neither chair tells the whole story on its own. We become more complete when we are willing to acknowledge both.
The rough lines, drips, and imperfections are intentional. Growth is rarely clean or finished, and neither are we.
This original black-and-white painting is about sitting with every part of yourself, especially the parts you would rather ignore, and realizing they all belong in the picture.
