Love & Hate

I am particularly drawn to this image due to its unusual nature. It was created by a Chinese illustration artist named Shadow Chen. I like the use of color contrasting with the denotation of the image. There seems to be a conflict represented within this illustration by the vines twisted around her torso trapping her. while the dove represents freedom and peace. I think this piece is contemporary and also has  a meaning behind it which makes it even more interesting. 

The caption of this piece reads - : '' A transformation, A hope to be saved, emotions to be set free from struggle with your heart and break through your throat.You find a scar and an aura spirals upwards, its a shape of a song one day it will finally be discovered, the meaning of your existence''
The caption adds power, value and meaning to this image.
