This painting reflects the quiet dissonance that lingers after a party, capturing the tension between external performance and internal experience. By emulating a photograph, the work highlights the role of the gaze and the pressure to appear present within social settings. Subtle cues of isolation and dysphoria surface, while hints of substance-induced, spiritual haze suggest temporary escapes we lean on to navigate these moments. The result is a study of artifice between how we appear and how we feel.
