The solitude state by Ying Lee in Singapore

This piece captures the deep, introspective nature of being alone with one’s thoughts and emotions. The dominant black and navy hues create a profound sense of stillness and contemplation, representing the quiet, often shadowy spaces of solitude. Teal introduces a subtle sense of calm and inner reflection, while the bold strokes of crimson red evoke the raw, emotional undercurrents that surface in moments of isolation—passion, pain, and intensity. Gold leaf accents punctuate the piece like fleeting moments of clarity or personal revelation, shimmering against the darker tones to suggest that even in solitude, there is beauty and transformation. The textured layers add depth, allowing the viewer to feel the weight and complexity of solitude, while also embracing the quiet power it holds.
