Inspired by Kurt Cobain during live performance, this oil and spray paint interpretation centres on energy rather than polish. The figure is built through loose structure and disrupted surface, allowing gesture and atmosphere to carry the identity as much as likeness. The sprayed smile motif and fragmented background introduce a layer of cultural residue — familiar symbols that hover rather than define. This piece focuses on presence under pressure, capturing the uneasy balance between performance, persona and private intensity.
