“The Escape”
US$250
The artwork “The Escape” represents the internal struggle of the human being to free themselves from their own limitations and restrictions. The man, composed of various shapes, is trapped in a room with bars, symbolizing the prison of one’s own mind. The man’s head shows two opposing sides: the left side represents logic and rational thinking, while the right side shows an open door with a sign that says “Escape”, symbolizing freedom and creativity. The man’s neck and torso resemble books, suggesting that knowledge and wisdom can be both a tool of liberation and a source of confinement. The silhouette of a person climbing to escape, but tied from the waist, suggests that, despite our efforts to break free, we often find ourselves trapped by our own limitations and fears. The artwork invites reflection on the importance of breaking internal barriers and finding personal freedom.
