Original artwork description:

Although close to each other, the chairs are facing in different directions, as if avoiding each other’s gaze. The space in between the objects has an undetermined sense of depth that is uncanny. The starkly contrasting colours almost create a sense of nausea. The viewer is unable to fixate on a single point in the room, constantly being drawn towards another object. Boxes, vases, a chest drawer and a bag are scattered around the space. The various chairs signify different characters within a person. They are unable to reconcile with each other, causing a state of confusion. The painting is a psychological landscape of someone who is sifting through conflicting aspects in her life in order to determine her core values.
