Open

Soft pinks and purples circle around a pale centre, capturing the moment when emotion becomes too powerful to contain. The centre appears to burst open, representing a mind overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety and thoughts that continue to spiral.

Under UV light, the artwork changes completely. The gentle daylight colours become deep electric blues and glowing violet tones, revealing the intensity hidden beneath its softer surface.

Created with UV-reactive oil pastels on A4 paper and laminated for protection, this original artwork shows how something can appear calm and delicate while carrying an explosion of emotion underneath.
