Original artwork description:

In today's world, we are surrounded by messages urging individuals to experience positivity and happiness. Through various forms of media, we are bombarded with images and slogans encouraging us to think positively, believe in ourselves, and relentlessly pursue happiness. However, beneath this surface of optimism often lies a reality that contradicts these messages.
The artist's works explore this stark divide between the positivity projected by society and the harsh reality individuals face on a daily basis. Through drawing, in this case monochromatic, the artist depicts the human figure "adorned" with messages that typically promote positivity. The monochromatic palette and the dark expressiveness of these figures reveal a different narrative—one that speaks of despair, loneliness, and disappointment.
Placing these conflicting elements side by side is intended to provoke the viewer to question their perception of their own reality. Each drawing invites consideration of the disconnect between the façade of happiness imposed by the public and the real struggle to achieve it. Through the collision of these opposing narratives, the artist aims to prompt the viewer to reconsider the truth and authenticity of the messages encountered daily.
