The person in the paintings serves as the focal point, while the symbolic shadow trailing behind that person acts as a metaphor for the past, signifying the memories, experiences, and cultural and emotional baggage that accompany us throughout our lives. It suggests that regardless of how hard we try to forge ahead or leave certain aspects of our past behind, they inevitably follow us, influencing our paths and shaping our identities. The series invites viewers to contemplate the impact of personal history and how it can manifest itself in our actions, decisions, and emotions.
