Surreal Banal 1 and 2

Surreal Banal depicts myself in my bedroom in a surreal, dreamlike manner. It is about being judged and pulled in different directions. The images convey stress and pressure in the form of a nightmare. The symbols and use of red demonstrate being unable to truly express myself. The process of linocut accented by the asymmetrical structure and use of shape, pattern and colour reflect a tension between the reflection and what is real.
