Trapped Heart

"Trapped Heart" is a striking composition that explores the interplay between the heart and mind, delving into the complexities of human emotions and thoughts. The artwork, created using ink and acrylic paint on watercolour paper, juxtaposes the chaotic workings of the mind against the ensnared vulnerability of the heart. On the right, the intricate, interwoven lines symbolize the relentless activity of the mind-its thoughts and emotions are busy, tangled, and overwhelming. The left side presents a visceral depiction of the heart, vibrant in red, yet ensnared by a serpent. The snake embodies the darker aspects of human thought-fear, anger, envy, or other destructive tendencies that grip the heart, preventing it from functioning freely. This entrapment speaks to the internal struggles we all face, where negative thoughts take hold and stifle emotional growth and expression.
