About the Artwork:
“This piece represents the gradual decline or process of breaking down. The fragmented elements in the figure are to convey the slow sense of deterioration regarding one’s health. ‘Slow Crash’ is reminding us of our own mortality through its somber yet introspective nature and palette.” – AJ Ainscough
