Abstract
Vulnerability exists in a dichotomy; a Paradox.
Paradox is an oil painting on canvas that involves a sculptural element through wire and beading. This piece explores vulnerability and the paradoxical nature that surrounds it. There is a certain sense of safety in not being vulnerable with the ppl around you, however it also serves as an isolating cage. I am inspired by other artists, such as artist Nick Cave, who combines mediums into whimsical , weable pieces of art. My goal is to inspire an introspection among viewers. What aspects of your life do you keep to yourself? Is this detrimental to your relationships? This piece comments on these questions.
