EMPTY

This painting explores the illusion of fulfillment. The blue hand pours from a shattered red vessel, symbolizing the broken sources we often rely on—validation, status, or fleeting pleasures. The face-shaped vessel below, fragile and textured, represents the self: receptive, yet never truly filled. No matter how much is poured in, the emptiness lingers. The work reflects on the human tendency to seek completion outside ourselves, reminding us that healing and wholeness must come from within.
