Why (Painting 1)
In the painting, a young man stands surrounded by darkness. He looks up to the light, his hands open and ready to catch the light. He leans back slightly so that the divine light fully touches him. The light radiating from above represents a source of hope and insight. His open hands show his willingness to receive the light, to find answers to his questions and direction in his life. It is as if he is trying to fathom the mysteries of life, to understand why things are the way they are. This painting invites the viewer to sympathize with the young man's quest, to reflect on the deep questions we all sometimes have. It reminds us to have courage, to express our doubts and questions. It symbolizes the human search for help and truth.
Anger
In the painting, a man stands in darkness, screaming at the viewer. He radiates anger at everyone around him. He is out of his mind and can only express himself through intense emotion. His scream at the viewer suggests a deep frustration and anger he feels toward the world. He feels powerless, trapped in an unjust reality over which he seems to have no control. The light shining on him from the side creates a contrast. This emphasizes the intensity of his emotions and shows that there is still a glimmer of hope and awareness even in the midst of his anger and powerlessness. This painting evokes a sense of unease and tension in the viewer, inviting reflection on the power of emotions and the human struggle with powerlessness.
