For the theme of Inside Out, the focus is on dreams, that usually reflect on events in one’s lives. For this final work, the dream is left as a trigger; like a characteristic. The eyes without pupils indicate the loss of self and the overstress of the nervous system. The face is centred and arranged in a way where a river is coming out of the mouth and water is coming down to the viewer. Behind this surreal idea and symbolism, I frankly thought that it is like my desire to get rid of negative feelings, ideas or anything unpleasant and it’s being taken out. Thus, this rejection of things results in a great recovery for you. All the mark-making lines drawn represent the negative thoughts, that also add to that sense of flow.
