‘What Lies Beneath', depicting a woman partially submerged in turbulent waters, with a pink underlay hinting at discordance beneath. The painting explores the turbulent journey to self-understanding amidst societal c0rrupt!0n and indu$tri@l!st turmoil. The juxtaposition of the tranquil pose against the lively ripples symbolises resilience in the face of adversity, urging viewers to stay afloat amidst the challenges of our current times, but to ‘bury their head in the sand’ or become consumed in them. The painting provides a message of empowerment of social consciousness and aims to inspire reflection on our collective struggle and the imperative of effecting positive change while embracing interconnectedness. The moment captured could be seen as a metaphorical 'sink or swim' moment in one's life.
