The piece with the title „Life“ depicts a hand viewed from above, with five fingers extended. Each fingernail is adorned with an acrylic nail, each featuring a face. The faces on the nails are turned to the side, gazing at one another. The fingers are adorned with gold jewelry, adding a touch of luxury and opulence to the image. In the background, the words "life is pointless" are inscribed.
The artwork juxtaposes the faces on the nails with the stark message in the background, creating a striking contrast. The faces looking at each other may symbolize the human need for connection and interaction, despite the underlying message of existential despair. The gold jewelry suggests a pursuit of material wealth and external beauty, which may be portrayed as superficial or ultimately meaningless in the context of the phrase "life is pointless." The painting invites viewers to reflect on the contrast between outward appearances and deeper existential questions, provoking thoughts about the value and meaning of life.
