IMAGE emerged during a period of personal change and unexpected responsibility, when I found myself confronting circumstances that deeply affected me yet remained beyond my control.
The work translates that experience through two contrasting forms. A dark, grounded figure closes her eyes and turns upward, while a vivid presence before her appears to dissolve. Their contrast reflects the tension between wanting to hold everything together and recognising the limits of what we can control.
For me, the upward gesture is rooted in faith. It represents a moment when searching for answers gave way to surrender and trust in God.
IMAGE considers surrender not as weakness, but as another form of strength: carrying what is ours to carry, releasing what is beyond us, and continuing forward even when the outcome remains uncertain.
