My work titled “Trapped” is a black-and-white female portrait that examines restraint, vulnerability, and psychological distance through minimal composition and symbolic materiality. Her outward gaze suggests awareness and longing, while her physical state implies limitation, creating a quiet but unresolved conflict. The work addresses both personal and systemic forms of confinement—those that are visible and those that are subtly imposed. “Trapped” is intended as a contemplative portrait of modern constraint, where emptiness speaks as loudly as form, and stillness carries emotional weight.
