Do We Know Her? explores mystery, identity, and the uncertainty of appearances through a surreal composition. A dark-haired girl holding a stuffed animal stands opposite a skeletal figure, surrounded by a swirling purple background that creates a sense of movement and unease.
I used contrasting colors and exaggerated forms to establish tension between innocence and mortality. The girl's dark clothing and quiet expression contrast with the exposed skeleton, while the spiraling background connects both figures within an ambiguous space.
The piece invites viewers to question who the mysterious girl is, what connects the two figures, and whether appearances reveal anything about someone's true identity.
