Rose Tinted

SOLD

Exploring the delicate interplay between idealism and reality, I invite the viewers to question how we perceive the world around us. Drawing inspiration from the age-old concept of "rose-tinted glasses," the work reflects on the way people often filter their experiences through a lens of optimism, nostalgia, or personal bias, sometimes blurring the lines between what's real and what's imagined.
