“Duality” (Oil on canvas) 2022

Duality means “ The quality or state of having two different or opposite parts or elements”.During the process of this painting I was coming to a point in time where I wanted to create pieces that resonate with how I'm truly feeling or thinking at the time. So i decided to ask myself, What does duality look like to me?

The two men represent a time in my life when I struggled to grow and express what I truly wanted to create. Their presence symbolizes the tension between who I was and who I was becoming. In the background, I wrote duality in different languages to show that this idea is not limited to one culture or perspective—it’s a universal human experience that we all share and must learn to understand.
