No Strings On Me

50 x 50 cm A solitary figure emerges, exuding defiance and self-determination, as if mastering the red strings of fate that traditionally bind souls together. In this work, the iconic red thread—often a symbol of destined relationships and inevitable ties—is reimagined as a malleable force, one that can be shaped and controlled rather than dictating a predetermined path. The dynamic interplay between bold, assertive strokes and subtle, ethereal details creates a tension that mirrors the internal struggle between connection and autonomy. The figure’s posture and expression suggest a deliberate choice to embrace freedom, inviting viewers to consider the balance between societal expectations and personal empowerment. Set against a backdrop of fragmented hues and contrasting textures, "No Strings On Me" challenges the viewer to reflect on the power of reclaiming control over the invisible forces that seek to define us, ultimately celebrating the resilient spirit of self-determination.
