The Labyrinth of Self
Metallic Acrylic On canvas with Pallet knife,60 x 40 Inches.
At the center of the canvas, a woman sits in deep contemplation, her face scratched out and hidden, framed by four towering pillars. These pillars symbolize the distinct stages of life, each representing a chapter in our ongoing journey of growth and self-discovery.
Surrounding her is a swirling vortex, capturing the ebb and flow of life’s experiences—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. It serves as a reminder of the ever-changing nature of existence and the tumultuous path we all navigate.
On her chest, four jigsaw puzzle pieces lie, representing the scars left by life’s trials. These fragments symbolize the defense mechanisms we build to protect ourselves, yet they also stand as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. The scratched-out face serves as a reminder that we should not hide our true identities, which are shaped by these very experiences.
As you gaze upon the “Labyrinth of Self,” take a moment to reflect on your own journey, the pieces that form your identity, and the winding path of self-discovery. May this artwork inspire introspection and conversation, inviting you to explore the complexities of the human experience and the pursuit of wholeness.
This piece can be framed in your choice of color at no additional cost.
