Onion of Grief

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Size: 80x80 cm

This artwork delves into the intricate layers of grief, portrayed as concentric circles resembling the peeling layers of an onion. Each layer, rendered in muted tones of ash gray, sepia, and olive green, reveals a nuanced phase of sorrow and despair, evoking the suffocating depth of loss and the relentless cycle of emotional burden.

Beneath the deceptively calm surface of the circles, turbulent currents—suggested through jagged textures and faint streaks of indigo, deep crimson, and shadowy black—flow chaotically. These represent the unseen turmoil, memories, and regrets embedded within the layers, often invisible to the world but deeply felt by the bearer.
