2020 Art Exhibition - Eve Who told You That You Were Naked?

The Prisoner is an evocative piece of abstract photographic art that delves into the profound theme of self-imposed mental captivity. The image features a cage with a figure trapped inside, symbolizing the barriers we create within our own minds.

Details such as bent bars and frayed ropes represent past attempts to break free, highlighting the struggle for liberation. The most poignant element, however, is the open cage door—a stark reminder that the path to freedom often lies within our reach, obscured only by our own perceptions and fears.

This artwork was inspired by a powerful moment in Scripture—God’s question to Adam and Eve, "Who told you that you were naked?" It made me reflect on the voices we listen to in our own lives. Who or what is shaping our identity? Are we hearing truth that uplifts us, or deception that distorts who we really are? This piece explores the weight of those influences—the ones we should have never given our attention to—and the impact they have on how we see ourselves, and the untapped potential for self-release.

Who Blew My House Down?

This work engages with the theme of relational loss, encompassing the absence of family, love, and friendship. The floral motifs embedded within the wallpaper upon wood serve as a visual metaphor for love that has departed, leaving only its trace.

In contrast, the presence of yellow within the composition introduces a counterbalance—an emblem of renewal and continuity, suggesting that even amidst loss, the possibility of transformation and new beginnings remains.
