This collage shows a visual meditation on the connection between the inside and the outside, and the interaction between the self and the world.At the centre of the piece is the striking shape of a woman's head, with features inspired by a peaceful landscape, showing that within us is a complex universe.Rolling hills, a calm sky, and curving rivers fill her shape, representing the different layers of thoughts, emotions, and dreams that make up our inner worlds.
Surrounding this large figure is a lively scene of a distant city full of people and their own stories. The cityscape, though colourful, is less important than the quiet feeling of the outline, showing that the things inside us often have more influence on how we see the outside world.The small figures in the front are all different, but together they create a feeling of shared experience that is also separate.
I want viewers to think about their own inner lives and how the outside world affects them. It's an invitation to explore and connect—inside and out.
