This piece of artwork resonates the title itself. Mystery of Self exudes an interrogatory sense that attempts to play with the perspective of the viewer. Its intention is to make one ponder the current state of one’s life as opposed to the virtual reality that has been created to mask the actual condition. The inception is cleverly achieved through the use of frames. Are you looking at a piece of painting hung on the bluish coloured wall? Or are you looking through a window on the bluish coloured wall? The answer can be found by looking at where Eve (the artist) has signed on this painting.
The vase represents the vessel of self notwithstanding; the condition of the plants represents our fruitfulness. However, the ability for growth largely depends on the conduciveness of the environment for truth. Only the viewer can determine which part of the vase self belongs to.
Many times, others may view self to be fruitful while looking from outside the window but the truth remains that self may be liken as the leaves to be withered and dried up on the inside. The miniature of the pot of plants within the vase reflects the inherent need for significance indwelling in every soul.
