Description

Separation is a representation of grief and loss. It consists of two pieces that should be seen as complementary to each other, reflecting the emotional intensity of mourning. The three colors in the composition convey a striking image of separation: the blue evokes the weight and stillness of grief, while the orange cuts across the picture like a wound—symbolizing both pain and the persistence of memory and humanity.

The warm white suggests absence, the quiet void left behind, or the sense of a world hollowed by loss. Through these three opposing yet interrelated colors, the work constructs a space where loss, grief, and mourning coexist—each tone amplifying the emotional depth of the other and revealing the fragile equilibrium between presence and absence.
