Description

Self Love inspiration

Tongjit Torsuwan conveys a story of self-love in dreamlike visuals through oil on canvas. When Tongjit was young, she liked to compare herself with others and didn’t appreciate herself. She later came across a book of Dhamma which changed her perspective on herself.

“I was suddenly happy with myself, and I felt that the most important love of all was self-love. Tongjit Torsuwan remarked, “I designed this collection to remind myself that I should love myself and embrace both my beautiful and dark sides.”

The Shadow, describes the nature of humans that we all have both good and bad sides. Two women in the painting are the same person but represent the two sides of us. While the day and night portray our dark side and the bright side. Likewise, the glasses the woman wears show both bright and dark skies. Tongjit encourages us to appreciate and accept our dark side since it is similar to our shadow. It will always be with us.

It aims to revolutionise the human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that acknowledges the power of the unconscious and dreams.
