Description: This vibrant painting presents a splash of color as a visual metaphor for the multitude of attractions, distractions, and entertainments offered by the modern world. The central motif of the artwork - glasses, suspended without a wearer, suggests a disembodied gaze of one that looks but does not see. Surrounded by a kaleidoscope of bright, fragmented brushstrokes, the viewer is drawn into a sensory overload that mirrors the overstimulation of contemporary life. This vivid colour choice represents the enticing yet often superficial layers of modern experience that can disconnect individuals from their inner selves, obscuring true desires, values, and a sense of authenticity. The work invites reflection on perception and illusion: what we see versus what lies beneath.
