Back to Abnormal is an exploration of the delicate interplay between the past and the present, a journey through old styles imbued with new perspectives. This collection of paintings, created over the past six months, delves into the profound disconnect between the body and mind as we strive to replicate our dreams. It confronts the challenge of finding one’s place in an increasingly frenetic world, offering a lens to gain clarity amidst the chaos.
In a time where outsourcing our rights and perspectives to others—those who propose simplistic solutions to complex problems—poses a real danger. This exhibition serves as a reflection on the erosion of empathy and critical thought. The works within Back to Abnormal highlight the fractious views that threaten unity and question the growing trend of following the herd.
At its core, this exhibition is about bravery—the fear of putting oneself out there, going against the grain, and maintaining sanity during times of turmoil. Each piece is a testament to the resilience required to navigate a world filled with confusion and the constant push and pull between conformity and individuality.
Through these paintings, I invite you to reflect on the complexities of our modern existence and to find solace in the realization that in the midst of abnormality, we can still discover our true selves.
