About my Work:
I believe people often hide their true emotions and personalities. There are many reasons for people hiding their true feelings. But, I argue, one of the most plausible reasons could be that none of us willingly expose their weakness or vulnerabilities. For example, in my case, I hide my anger when I feel angry or upset because of the societal fear of being judged by others as a social pariah behaviour. The glass dolls in my artwork ‘Happiness Dairy’ visualise my angers that are caused by different situations.
The images on each head and body of the doll are hand cut onto vinyl, sandblasted and then finally (cameo) engraved.
The Engraving:
"Happiness Diary" - Each piece is 16cm H and 9cm Dia
It was cameo engraved in July 2021.
