New Artwork: In Shadow

Continuing with the shadow theme, here is a new piece I've been working on called "In Shadow."

Immediately recognizable as plants and yet...upon closer examination...they're very unrealistic plants, stems don't seem to connect, leaves emerge from nowhere, and even what's light and dark seems to be randomly assigned. This is the crux of the identity/perception issue my artwork explores. Identity is how I view myself.  Perception is how you view me.  I'm interested in using my artwork to spark a conversation about that conflict.  In a world where we quickly judge others based on appearances, your first narrative about someone else is rarely the whole truth. 

Here's a closer look at all the details:

I feel like this piece fits right in with the "Dark Academia" trend in decorating.

But it also fits right into a bright and cheery space!
