I'm Still Here

In this thought-provoking painting, a couple sits at the center of the composition, their bodies entwined. Capturing the essence of a bittersweet relationship by portraying their skin transitioning from warm to cold tones, the painting metaphorically reflects the gradual cooling of their affection and the emergence of a lukewarm state. This painting and its title was inspired by a song, Mew Shiny by Mon Laferte, in which a lover expresses her pain when her partner starts becoming emotionally distant, and she reaffirms her presence and love to salvage the relationship.
