Part of my Reflection figurative series.
This piece explores reflection, or more accurately, self-reflection and vulnerability. I wanted this piece to convey reflection in a more abstract and emotional way, rather than a literal image. She looks away from the viewer and her hands grasp her shoulders as if she is protecting herself, but are transparent. She is exposed
I used loose brushstrokes and layered textures as well as a mix of soft and bold colours to reflect that vulnerability and guarded emotion.
