Artist’s Statement
This piece explores the meanings and compatibility of names, specifically of the names, "Tyrah" and "Celia." The name "Tyrah," associated with the figure on the left, translates to "God of War," evoking the sense of strength and power. While the name "Celia," associated with the figure on the right, means "Heavenly," embodying tranquility and charm. Through this artwork, I aimed to depict a delicate balance between strength and serenity, illustrating the complex emotions that shape relationships. The darkness of the left subject vs. the lightness of that on the right can also allude to the popular concept of "Yin and Yang," further symbolizing this divine harmony.
I crafted this piece because of negative emotions I was experiencing (unrelated to its meaning) at the time. The creative process provided an escape of sorts, especially considering the subject of this specific artwork.
