This piece is a reference to a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche: “I fear you close by; I love you far away.” It shows how we, as humans, fear intimacy when it is close but yearn for it when it cannot be found.

This is one of my unfinished works last 2021, and I only got the motivation to complete it last April 2022. Amidst continuously having art burnouts, I managed to finish this output after I played around with bright colors like orange while also aiming to achieve mirroring such energy that gives an opposite meaning as to what emotions the subject shows.
