Concept: “This piece explores surrealism through random, everyday objects, each symbolizing thoughts, emotions, and memories in a dreamlike, distorted reality. The combination of ordinary items, like a pool ball, broken glass, and a Rubik’s Cube, within an altered reality, challenges the viewer’s perception of logic and meaning.”

Technique: “Acrylic paint used to bring these everyday objects to life, carefully blending vivid color with contrasting textures. The objects are creating a visual tension that mimics the unpredictable nature of the subconscious mind.”

Design Intent: “The broken glass, scattered heads, and mismatched elements like a Rubik’s Cube or a Lego piece guide the viewer toward a perception of disjointed mental states and fragmented identity. These objects are placed to challenge the viewer’s understanding of order, logic, and emotion.”

Outcome: “The work highlights ability to manipulate acrylic paint to transform familiar objects into surreal symbols, creating a visual narrative that invites the viewer to explore the boundaries of reality and the subconscious.”
