Description

"Degrading" explores the poignant theme of childhood fading, with the subject representing the artist. This piece captures the delicate balance between a decaying human body and a childlike face adorned with pigtails. The lines are deliberately crafted to juxtapose the innocence of youth against the inevitable decline of age. The pigtails symbolize the remnants of childhood, persistently clinging to a body that tells a different story. The contrast highlights the internal struggle to maintain youthful essence amidst the encroaching wear of time. This visual metaphor invites the audience to reflect on the inevitable passage of time and the enduring connection to one’s youthful past, challenging traditional perceptions of aging and identity.
