"Dissociation" is an artwork that explores the fragmented identity and the search for external validation experienced by individuals living between Eastern and Western cultures. The shattered mirror represents the fractured self-perception of the artist, who struggles to reconcile their true inner thoughts with the expectations and judgments of the outside world. Each broken piece reflects a distorted image, symbolizing the confusion and disorientation that comes from over-relying on external approval. This piece is a poignant commentary on the internal conflict and the blurring of one’s authentic self in the quest for acceptance.
