The colors are intensely alive — vivid and striking, yet sharp at the same time, because they are honest, real, and impossible to escape from.

The girl in the painting looks away, because some things are simply too difficult to admit. But she is not hiding from them — not really. This piece was created to catch your attention, to hold it. It may feel uncomfortable, even unsettling or frightening to some — or perhaps confusing. Just like the emotions we so often try to run from. And yet, within it lives a whole spectrum of feelings and states — raw, conflicting, real. That is what the artist sought to express.
