Original artwork description:

In this surreal and arresting portrait, two faces merge into one unsettling yet harmonious composition. At the intersection of their shared identity lies a third eye — central, unblinking, and all-seeing. Eyes also appear within their mouths, blurring the boundaries between sight and speech, perception and expression.

This painting explores the theme of inner observation — the idea that beneath our words, beyond what we show, there is always a hidden presence watching from within. The intense gazes, symbolic symmetry, and haunting silence invite the viewer to confront their own inner "witness" — the silent observer of thoughts, emotions, and identity.

With bold use of contrast, surreal anatomy, and emotional tension, The Witness Within continues the artist’s exploration of human duality, vulnerability, and the many layers of seeing and being seen.
