Soaking it in All II - 2023
Oil on Canvas | 61 x 61 cm
From the Curator:
"Soaking it in All II captures the human condition as a state of absorption, where layers of thought, memory, and desire converge. The fragmented face, veiled in intersecting strokes and branches, conveys both entanglement and release. At its centre, luminous red lips emerge as an anchor of presence and voice amid chaos. Rather than a fixed portrait, Sor Sen evokes the sensation of being immersed in life’s whirlwind yet holding balance, inviting reflection on the dualities of silence and expression, fragmentation and wholeness."
