Longing

This piece captures the essence of female vulnerability and resilience.  The woman, standing half naked with her arms folded, exudes a sense of longing, sadness and solitude.  Her half naked form speaks to the raw exposure of her emotions, unshielded from the worlds gaze.

The artists choice of blues and yellows creates a powerful dichotomy: the blues convey a deep melancholy, while the yellow suggests a lingering hope and strength.  The interplay of colours underscores the complexity of the woman’s inner world, highlighting her struggle and defiance in the face of adversity.
