"Self-Discovery" is an oil painting that delves into the complex journey of personal exploration and realisation. Here employs a cubist-inspired approach, fragmenting the human form into a series of interlocking shapes and planes that coalesce into a coherent whole. This stylistic choice reflects the multifaceted nature of self-identity and the many perspectives from which one can understand oneself.

The palette is a rich amalgamation of warm and cool tones, with ambers and yellows suggesting the warmth of inner light and self-awareness, while purples and greys imply the shadowy recesses of the psyche. Limbs and body parts overlap in a way that challenges the viewer to piece together the subject, much like the introspective process of piecing together one's own identity.
