Description:
Degrading is a striking mixed media artwork that intimately explores the fading tension between youth and aging. The 30×30 inch piece presents a symbolic self-portrait of the artist, where a childlike face—complete with innocent pigtails—emerges from a body visibly worn and decaying.

This visual contrast between innocence and deterioration embodies the internal struggle of holding on to one’s youthful essence while confronting the relentless passage of time. The pigtails serve as haunting remnants of childhood, stubbornly anchored to a form that reflects age, change, and emotional erosion.

Every line in Degrading is purposefully constructed to evoke discomfort and tenderness, prompting viewers to reconsider their own relationship to identity, memory, and the physical self.

Emotionally raw yet conceptually rich, this piece is ideal for collectors interested in psychological art, contemporary portraiture, or work that addresses the complexity of aging and transformation.
