“Aloneness” is two of five paintings forming a complete composition.The figures can be freely rearranged — the story shifts, relationships change.The raw background, lack of decoration, and plain underwear draw attention to the bodies and their poses.Through these scenes, I wanted to express the feeling of being alone, lost, and empty — even when we’re surrounded by others.The figures don’t even look in the same direction; invisible walls seem to rise between them.It’s that kind of solitude we all know. The search for meaning, for answers to questions we can only figure out on our own — because everyone else is just as lost and afraid as we are.And yet, maybe that solitude is the one thing we all truly share.
