This artwork features an abstract figure rendered in stark contrasts of black and white, divided vertically to symbolize the duality of self. Vivid accents of red, blue, and yellow add bursts of energy, emphasizing the expressive facial features. The striking blue eyes become a focal point, giving the figure depth and emotion. The figure’s outline is highlighted by flowing colours, creating a sense of movement, while bold lines convey both strength and vulnerability.

The custom wooden frame adds warmth and elegance, enhancing the artwork's visual impact and providing a refined, finished presentation that draws viewers into its exploration of identity and contrast.
