This artwork is titled “Trapped in Beauty” and it’s one of the pieces created by the artist to participate in challenges organized by other artists. For her, it’s a way to challenge herself, to reinterpret ideas, and give them a personal touch, often very distinct from the initial idea but still making an effort to preserve it. It’s about experimenting with new themes and interacting with other artists in an artistically interesting way. For her, a piece of artwork and its interpretation have a lot to do with the energy it transmits. Here, a young woman is depicted trapped by a beautiful protea flower, which seems to both restrict her movements and adorn her with beauty. It raises the question of how often we are deceived by the apparent beauty of something. Perhaps a relationship between people, for example, that seems beautiful but is actually toxic and limiting. The beauty of art lies in how it is seen and felt by others. And this kind of challenge puts the artist in the role of both observer and creator simultaneously, allowing them to give meaning to a piece that may be either very similar or very different from what the challenge creator initially envisioned.
