Scissors 4

This painting from the “Scissors” series powerfully captures the unseen lives of garment workers, symbolized by broken scissors. Once tools of precision, the fractured scissors now reflect exhaustion and loss of identity in the fast-paced fashion industry. Jagged lines and chaotic shapes evoke disruption, mirroring workers’ invisible struggles. The damaged scissors are a metaphor for the disconnect between unseen labour and the polished world it sustains, while a red circular element symbolizes the heart of the industry, detached from the lives it affects.
