“Dichotomy” is a portrait of fractured truths and converging silences. Two greyscale faces, one frontal, one in profile, merged by sharp gold shapes symbolizing fragmented truths. Set against a stark black background, the composition draws from a well-worn Caribbean saying, “there are always two sides to a story”, and the truth often gets lost in between. Each woman’s face represents a partial narrative, belief shaped by bias and, recollection tinted by self-preservation. The gold isn’t clarity, it’s confession. But what it omits is as poignant as what it reveals. The figures blur and fuse, not for unity, but for confrontation, between how we’re seen, and who we are; between the story told, and the story felt.
