I'm going insane and I'm coping with humour, 2024
Oil paint on canvas, 50 cm x 70 cm
The figure in this self-portrait, with its rolling eye and hand dragging down the other, conveys a sense of emotional turmoil masked by an effort to remain calm. Although humour isn’t directly portrayed, the painting’s focus on only half the face invites curiosity about the other side. This absence leaves viewers questioning whether the figure is on the edge of insanity. The work, "I'm Going Insane and I'm Coping with Humour," explores the tension between internal chaos and the attempt to present a composed exterior amidst mental struggle.
