Stay

This painting depicts five figures, each representing the same person from different angles and in different attire, reflecting the cyclical nature of our connection to certain places or states of mind. The central figure's direct gaze at the viewer emphasizes the awareness of being there against her will, highlighting the tension between resistance and submission. Meanwhile, hands emerging from the carpet attempt to restrain the central figure in every possible way, preventing her from even considering the possibility of escape.
