Art is not only about beauty and aesthetics; it can also be a reflection of the world around us. It can highlight the issues that plague society, and offer a glimpse into the darker side of humanity. My ceramic sculpture titled "tainted" is a reflection of the relationship between men and women and the toxic behaviors that perpetuate unhealthy power dynamics. Through my sculpture, I wanted to convey the idea that society often taints the purity of human relationships with toxic masculinity and patriarchal norms. By breaking free from these destructive patterns, we can create a more harmonious and balanced society.
