Description:
Forbidden presents a raw, expressionist portrayal of emotional tension and suppressed desire. With bold outlines and distorted forms, the painting depicts a woman confronting an abstract, puppet-like figure possibly a projection of inner conflict or societal restriction. The direct gaze and exaggerated facial features speak to resistance and longing. Aeeni’s style here leans into symbolic minimalism, using contrast and posture to question power, intimacy, and boundaries.
