In "Strange Tears" the viewer is transported into a world where emotion and perspective merge in a visually powerful scene. The lady in question, seemingly calm, wears glasses that not only filter her view of the world, but also seem to be the source of a thunderstorm clouding her vision.
The glasses, symbolic of the way she experiences reality, transform her tears into a torrent of thunderclouds, flowing across her face like a cascade. This image suggests that our perception of the world around us is as changeable as the weather, and that our inner storms can sometimes become as tangible as the physical world.
Atop her head, intertwined with the shape of a hat, is a black cat - a classic symbol of mystery and superstition. The cat acts as an emblematic shield heralding a lurking doom, adding another layer of complexity and meaning to the portrait.
"Strange Tears" is an artistic representation of the struggle between our inner world and the way we perceive external reality. This work calls for introspection on the filters through which we view life and the emotional storms we carry in silence. It is an invitation to recognise the subjectivity of our experiences and the beauty of our hidden vulnerabilities.
