In this portrait Liga sought to capture profound transformation in the subject’s emotional landscape. The figure with a slightly annoyed expression, portrays the initial stages of inner turmoil and unrest. The juxtaposition of the figure’s demeanour with the large, ruffled collar from which elegant white origami birds take flight, soaring gracefully over the figures head, serves as a powerful metaphor for change and healing.
The collar represents the constrains and burdens of the past, while the birds symbolize the fragility of transformation and the potential for a positive change. Origami, an ancient art of folding paper into intricate forms, represent the deliberate, transformative process that one can undertake. This artwork serves as a visual meditation on a journey from annoyance to healing, reminding us that even in our most challenging moments, we possess the potential for renewal and positive change.
