"Shed Your Skin" – Available Artwork by Surreal24seven
‘Shed Your Skin’ is a visual representation of transformation, growth, and resilience. Reflecting on the challenges faced over the past decade, this piece explores the journey of shedding old burdens and embracing new beginnings. The woman in the artwork, adorned with tattoos symbolizing her past, stands within a box—a metaphor for the confines and isolation I’ve felt. Her journey of change is mirrored by the suitcases beneath her, a symbol of readiness for the next chapter in life.
Just as a snake sheds its skin or a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, this piece celebrates the beauty and strength that emerge from overcoming adversity. The billboards in the background hint at the world beyond, offering a visual representation of hope and the possibilities that lie ahead. The tattoos on the woman's body tell a story of survival, and the piece as a whole reflects the realization that even the most difficult challenges lead to growth and self-discovery.
‘Shed Your Skin’ is more than just an artwork—it's a symbol of embracing positive change and moving forward with intention. This piece, like my journey, is a beacon calling out to the universe for transformation and renewal.
At the heart of ‘Satirical Inferno’ is a woman constructed from torn paper mache, embodying a fiery storyteller igniting change. Her fragmented ‘skin’ features satirical cartoon imagery—twisted depictions of familiar characters like an obese Superman devouring a hamburger and Alice, Dorothy, and Snow White lounging on a couch, smoking and drinking.
