  • The artists involved in “Embraced” utilise their talents to portray not just the physical appearance but also the inner lives of their subjects.

 

 

 

  • This method allows the audience to look beyond the surface and engage with the deeper narratives and emotional undertones within each portrait.

  • The raw vulnerability displayed in these artworks resonates with viewers, prompting them to reflect on their own bodily experiences and connect with the subjects on a philosophical level.

 

 

 

 

 

  • “Embraced” goes beyond a simple visual display; it invites us to think about the authenticity of our own experiences.
