50x70 cm ~ Painting, Acrylic
The man is depicted as taller and darker, his body painted with geometric forms that symbolize his practicality and cold heart. The woman is shown only from the head, which appears enlarged to represent her constant overthinking. Her flowing red hair reflects her kind heart and love of life.
Both figures are turned away from each other, facing in opposite directions. Golden streaks emerge from the woman’s head—her thoughts, ideas, and emotions for him. They form shapes resembling a placenta, a symbol of her motherly love, yet these fail to reach him because of his toxicity.
His emotions toward her are shown as faint, toxic, black dotted lines—small, fragile, and harmful. The background is painted yellow, representing the happiness they could have shared but ultimately lost. The work reflects how his toxic masculinity, coldness, and arrogance push them apart.
