In a Crowded Space

REDLINING SERIES

In a Crowded Space (2021)

Medium: Acrylic and Collage on Canvas

Year: 2021

"In a Crowded Space" serves as the inaugural piece in the REDLINING series. Through the use of acrylic painting and collage techniques. I explored the intricate interplay between structure and chaos, inviting viewers to delve into the realms of self-identity and personal transformation.

The composition presents a dynamic contrast between clean, sharp lines and ripped, jagged edges, symbolizing the duality of existence. The juxtaposition between these opposing elements creates a palpable tension, vividly illustrating the delicate balance between harmony and destruction. 

This piece holds personal significance because it catalyzed my journey of self-discovery and introspection, triggering a curiosity about my identity. Each element, carefully selected and arranged, represents fragments of my past, present, and aspiring future. The collaged materials symbolize the diverse experiences and influences that have shaped my identity, while the bold red acrylic line amplified how I choose to perceive reality.

I hope viewers recognize this notion as an invitation to embark on a introspective journey, that encourages the contemplation of self-identity.
