The Departure
Trough clever use of asymmetry, the artist explores the inner conflict about leaving home.
The larger left side of the head leans toward the island, suggesting a longing to stay.
The eyes look forward, but in two slightly different directions, a refference to confusion about what lies ahead.
Drab colors add to the melancholy, but there is hope in the upward springing of the white curl beside the signature, as if to say: "Come on, why the long face?"
