The deep pinks bleed and drip into the open white space without much control, while the gold border tries and fails to contain it all neatly. I like the tension between those two things. The painting feels emotional, messy, maybe even a little irrational, but still intentional. The layered reds and softer pinks keep pulling between tenderness and frustration, like trying to stay composed while feeling something very loudly underneath the surface. one could see it as a fight with oneself, or a box someone finds themselves in.
