About the artwork

This work epitomises the fragility of human existence and the beauty in imperfection. A woman's face is split by a deep, golden fault line - as if time or life itself had torn it in two. On the left side she appears in deep black, on the right in immaculate white. These opposites symbolise light and shadow, consciousness and subconsciousness, order and chaos.

The golden cleft that runs through the face is reminiscent of the Japanese art of Kintsugi, in which broken ceramics are repaired with gold so as not to hide the fractures but to honour them as part of history. Here, this concept is applied to human identity: the cracks are not flaws, but a sign of growth, strength and transformation.

The eyes, deep and expressive, still seem to be united despite the split. They look knowing, almost melancholic, as if they bear the burden of the past and yet look to the future. The textures of the picture reinforce this impression - the left side appears dissolved, almost as if in the process of dissolving, while the right side appears smooth and calm, as if it exists in a different reality.

"Golden Fault Line - The Divided Soul" is a visual meditation on duality, loss and restoration. It invites the viewer to find their own story in the cracks of existence and to recognise the beauty in the fact that we can emerge anew from our fragments.
