Helmet Explanation:

The creation of the helmet stemmed from a deeply personal

struggle with its initial form. Its rough and unwelcoming surface

posed a challenge, deterring any inclination to paint upon

it. However, through perseverance, I transformed its harsh

exterior into a smooth canvas ripe for artistic expression.

Opting for a vibrant and glossy exterior, I aimed to evoke a

sense of dramatic allure.Yet, within this polished exterior lies

a stark contrast. The interior remains untouched, maintaining

its rugged texture. This deliberate choice symbolizes the

dichotomy between outer appearance and inner turmoil. While

the exterior gleams with vibrancy, the interior harbors the scars

of battle-pain, trauma, and hardship. These internal struggles,

concealed from view, stand in stark contrast to the radiant

facade, emphasizing the disparity between perception and

reality.In essence, the helmet serves as a visual representation

of the complexities inherent within the human experience. It

invites viewers to contemplate the contrast between surface

appearances and hidden truths, urging them to acknowledge

the depth beneath the shimmering exterior.
