Taboo

This evocative piece captures the raw tension between purity and prohibition. A woman sits on the floor, her vibrant pink and aqua hair ablaze with life, contrasting against the burning infrared stone gate behind her. She gazes upward as her soul, aflame with the weight of societal constraints, ascends from her body. Hovering by her shoulder is a delicate hummingbird, embodying the elusive freedom of self-expression. Surrounding her is a haunting script: “Soul is to be found in the vicinity of taboo.” The painting delves into the paradox of taboo—its alluring purity and the destructive flames it ignites when breached. A striking exploration of the forbidden, “Taboo” challenges viewers to confront the boundaries imposed by society and the liberation found in crossing them.
