"Red Queen", from Underland, a series deeply rooted in the essence of “Alice in Wonderland”.
This piece captures the image of a reign in decay, where seduction, domination, and disdain intertwine in a fascinating play of light and shadow. The face of the Red Queen, shaped by the expression of calculated contempt and excessive pride, evokes authority while revealing the scars of a sad and broken childhood. The duality of her existence is laid bare, manifesting the tyranny of her ego as a bitter fruit of internal wounds.
The surroundings that envelop the Red Queen unveil a reign where the opulence that once adorned her domain has yielded to the passage of time, leaving behind a trace of decadence. The shadows looming over the throne suggest not only the transience of power but also the inevitable decline that accompanies those who cling too tightly to their crown.
This work seeks to delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche, unveiling the vulnerabilities of a shattered childhood. Thus, the Red Queen becomes a metaphor for the human condition and a mirror of our own reality, reminding us that even in the most powerful realms, emotional complexity and the scars of the past persist.
