“Miss Bipolar” visualizes the oscillation between fragmentation and wholeness of identity through the language of color and form. Using a freehand machine embroidery technique, the artist explores how inner turbulence can take shape within a mechanical rhythm. The divided face becomes a symbolic reflection of emotional extremes: one side radiates with the exuberance of vivid colors, while the other withdraws into the calmness of muted tones.
The red watering can above the figure’s head and the delicate daisy sprouting from it represent the fragile balance between vitality and vulnerability, this motif suggests both the creative and destructive aspects of the mind. The dual nature of thought that simultaneously blooms and consumes itself. Drawing from personal experience, the artist redefines emotional fluctuation not merely as a “disorder” but as a transformative mode of existence.
The work also offers a subtle commentary on the suppressed emotional intensities of female identity within social constructs. “Miss Bipolar” emerges as a portrait where inner contradictions find aesthetic equilibrium, a reminder that fragility and strength can coexist within the same body.
