The first artwork in the Warfare series explores inner conflict, depicting two opposing versions of the self locked in silent tension One figure sits shrouded in darkness, head bowed, embodying the weight of trauma and the temptation to surrender to revenge. Opposite her, a second figure rises in exposed vulnerability, her body reaching upward as if fighting for breath, contemplating the possibility of a different path, a better way.

The contrast between the shadowed form and the illuminated one echoes the battle between surrender and resistance, between the pull of darkness and the desperate hope for transformation. With its stripped-back palette and raw emotional posture, this piece captures the moment where one’s soul wars with one’s spirit.
