The Vicious Cycle

The significance of this piece lies in the viewer’s interpretation of what they see, as informed by their own experience. While it may seem obvious to some that this is a piece on domestic violence, others notice a tenderness and dedication of a soon-to-be father, while others yet a family struggle against breast cancer. The yellow and purple color palette maintains ambiguity through tones of both warmth and toxicity, respectively. The composition’s visual cyclicality helps trap the audience amidst these and multiple other interpretations, enriching the meaning and impact of the work.
