Esthetics

Artist

Mike Kasongo

Description

The central figure sits in a moment of introspective pause, her body adorned in a corset-like form that appears to open at the chest—revealing a symbolic heart framed by feathered, wing-like textures. Surrounded by pink blossoms on a deep crimson backdrop, creating a rich, ornamental space that contrasts with her contemplative expression.
The work questions the boundaries between beauty and self-containment, offering a nuanced take on how aesthetic performance intersects with emotional reality.
