Original artwork description:

Triptych: "States of the Soul"

This triptych explores the complex emotional states that every individual experiences, offering a visual narrative of choice and introspection.

The central panel symbolizes Entanglement, portraying the inner chaos and confusion that often clouds our thoughts and emotions. It is the starting point of self-reflection, where the mind wrestles with itself.

The right panel, Self-Irony, represents a path of lightness and acceptance. Through humor and self-awareness, it invites us to rise above our struggles and embrace imperfections with grace.

The left panel, Self-Blame, delves into the darker side of the human psyche. It reflects the path of self-criticism and consuming negativity, warning of the consequences of lingering too long in despair.

The triptych invites the viewer to reflect on their own emotional journey, encouraging them to choose between the liberating power of self-irony or the consuming spiral of self-destruction. It is a deeply personal exploration of resilience and the choices that shape our inner world.
