Dirty Secret

This piece was entered into the "Global Art Awards 2018" and earned me "Best Newcomer" First glance shows a polaroid photo taken of an intimate scene in what looks like a poor attempt at destroying the evidence of an affair. However it's more likely it's a metaphor for how innocent partners are treated like a dirty secret by unfaithful counterparts. Her giving stare forces you to become apart of the artwork placing you behind the lens. The polaroid is folded and creased a symbol for the pain and damage sustained externally despite only demonstrating purity and unrelenting selflessness. All of which can never be removed and will be forever carried however the picture is still whole and no less beautiful in turn representing the resilience of her soul.
