Unfinished Self

The artwork portrays a mannequin-like figure with a mix of wooden and human-like elements, standing against a dark background. The figure’s torso is partially painted to resemble human skin, with one exposed breast and limbs in varying stages of completion. The pose, with arms raised and body slightly turned, suggests a moment of movement or self-examination. The use of color, such as the light blue waistband, contrasts with the wooden texture, highlighting the duality between artificiality and realism. The dark background adds a sense of isolation, inviting contemplation on themes of identity, transformation, and the search for wholeness or authenticity.
