A visceral portrait of what’s not allowed to surface. The Rejected Emotion captures the inner cry no one hears — distorted, silenced, and dismissed. The mouth is central, fragmented and raw, surrounded by a swirling void of unspoken feeling. Set against sharp green and yellow hues, the background contrasts the intensity of what's buried inside.
This is not a face. It’s a refusal. A confrontation with the emotional noise we’re told to keep quiet.
A piece for those who’ve ever swallowed their truth to keep the peace — or survive.
