Angels of the City

This art series portrays angels as a symbol of childhood innocence, representing our pure and untainted selves. However, the figure is veiled by a mask, signifying the obscured vision caused by societal pressures, religious influences, and misconceptions. It encapsulates the loss of our innate innocence as we grow, hindered by external expectations and ideologies that distort our true essence. As we mature, societal pressures, cultural norms, and external influences can cloud our original, pure perceptions; these outside forces can lead us away from our authentic selves. We might adopt beliefs or behaviors that are shaped by societal expectations rather than staying true to our genuine nature. Essentially, it speaks to the idea that external influences can distort or obscure our innate innocence and authenticity over time.

 

Society often associates guns with negativity, yet the essence of their impact lies in the perception of the beholder. The art piece invites contemplation on how our minds are shaped by societal norms, leading us to categorize objects as inherently good or bad. Ultimately, it questions whether the perceived 'goodness' or 'badness' of the gun truly lies in the object itself or in the perspective of the one who wields it.
