Inner Core
By Jade Suayan
My piece plays with the idea of the cycle of life, how everything is constantly changing but also leaving traces of what came before. The egg itself symbolizes birth or creation, and by treating it like an artifact, it becomes something preserved, like a relic of both past and future. It’s a reflection of how life is fragile yet deeply layered. I hope people look at it and feel that sense of continuity, that even as we change, there’s always something of us that remains.
About the Artist:
A Filipino visual artist, she transforms her personal journey into vibrant, neon-infused portraits that merge raw emotion with bold creativity. With years of experience and a lifelong passion for painting, her work evolves from early doodles to layered, cathartic pieces. Her cartoony style, shaped by her time in animation, brings a dynamic, narrative quality, while her bold neon palette, rooted in street art, captures urban energy. Through bright colors, neon highlights, and transparent overlays, each piece transcends conventional narratives, offering an honest exploration of emotion that invites viewers to connect in their own way.
