Description: This haunting work by Manish Barodia presents a fractured skull with devilish horns, rendered in heavy, textured strokes. The figure’s unsettling expression evokes the tension between inner torment and outward façade. The layered forms and stark contrasts suggest a descent into primal fear or existential reflection. Conceptually, it wrestles with the idea of confronting one’s inner demons—a visual allegory for psychological fragmentation and hidden truths.
