Fragmented Radiance
This piece explores the tension between vulnerability and strength through a surreal watercolor portrait. The face, emerging from soft, fluid bursts of color, reflects the complexity of identity—the parts we reveal and the parts we obscure. The expressive eye and stark contrasts between skin and abstraction invite the viewer to confront both clarity and ambiguity within themselves. My intention was to let the watercolor’s unpredictable nature echo the unpredictable beauty of being human.
