Getting Ready
In this black and white charcoal drawing, a figure applying bold red lipstick whilst gazing into a mirror is put on display. This symbolizes the longing to reclaim self-expression during the COVID-19 mask restriction. The contrast between monochrome tones and vibrant red is used to capture the complexity of emotions felt during this time. It’s used to highlight the struggle of adapting while maintaining a sense of identity. Material : Charcoal pencil Size : 22 x 19Julia Lee
