- Description:
“Greed” serves as the concluding piece in this deeply introspective trilogy, diving into the psychological weight of Western societal pressures and the relentless quest for material success. Created amidst a challenging journey with chronic illness and pain medication, the artwork visually captures how external, modern expectations can subtly overpower our consciousness.
The composition contrasts fluid water textures and dark, chaotic wildlife elements against a central figure, mirroring the internal battle to remain present. Rooted in Buddhist philosophy, the piece advocates for mindfulness, gratitude, and emotional detachment as an ultimate act of rebellion against societal conditioning.
Through an intricate process of hand-blended image transfer and oils, “Greed” stands as a poignant visual reminder to break free from negative cycles and find peace beneath the noise.
