An evocative mixed media piece features contrasting silhouettes. The larger silhouette, representing the older generation, is intricately adorned with nude female bodies in rich earthy coffee and tea stains. The smaller silhouette, more fleeting and abstract and carrying the phrase ' their bodies", embodies the younger generation. This artwork powerfully explores inter-generational dialogues, illustrating the intricate interplay between past and present generations within a societal context.
