At the centre, the figure remains composed and almost still, even as he is surrounded by a consuming force that symbolises shame, scrutiny, and the weight of a life-altering past.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"689\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRepeated triangular forms thread through the composition, acting as a visual reference to the artist’s own symbolism while opening a darker, more psychological dimension.
