Mixed Signals

Daria Avdeeva

"Mixed Signals" features two portraits that convey a complex narrative. The woman leans in with an expression of adoration, her gaze fixed on the man who appears lost in contemplation, looking away. This juxtaposition symbolizes the clash between one's intentions and inner thoughts. The background, painted in a blend of warm red and cool blue to create purple, reinforces this duality. It represents the conflicting emotions and desires within us, where warmth meets coolness, passion meets reservation. "Mixed Signals" invites viewers to ponder the intricacies of human connection, the ambiguity of emotions, and the enigmatic nature of relationships.
