Opposite Attractions
Description
The composition of the artwork drew from a painting reference that depicts a stark contrast between the two figures, yet still conveys a mutual attraction. However, the placement of the hand on the girl’s chin suggests a subtle display of dominance by the male protagonist, calling into question the sincerity of his feelings towards her. It becomes evident that his intentions are driven solely by the urge to manipulate her into a covert, unspoken relationship, masking his true indifference towards her well-being.
