Through the Dark

Through the Dark draws inspiration from Margaret Keane’s iconic “Big Eyes” aesthetic, reinterpreted here as a deeply personal expression of emotional upheaval. Created during a period marked by a difficult divorce, the work reflects pain, darkness, and inner chaos. The exaggerated gaze—vulnerable and unfiltered—becomes a vessel for emotion, while the blurred tears suggest both suffering and the act of release. Balancing fragility and strength, the piece transforms personal experience into visual language. Through the Dark is not only about enduring hardship, but about confronting it—moving through it, rather than around it.
