DEVIANCE

Deviance is not a condemnation of moral failure but a celebration of complexity. This piece is not just a portrait, it is a mirror reflecting the fractured yet interdependent forces within us. It recognizes that to be human is to be in constant negotiation with both our higher ideals and our darker desires. The figure depicted in this painting represents your true essence. Its eyes suggest internal conflict, one eye open to acceptance of the world’s judgments, the other weighed down by inner struggle, fear, and regret. In a world that demands conformity, deviation is often demonized. But here, I reclaim the word.
