Exploring the destruction of creativity stemming from pressures to conform, contrasting hard line work with soft brushwork symbolises beauty born from suffering. The choir girl strives for sonor perfection, at the cost of fading into anonymity. Still, her song escapes the confines of the canvas, bending societal norms, provoking hauntingly striking memories of sacrifices made for ideal beauty. Audiences’ discomfort when introduced to the extension reflects society’s critique of original thought.
