REGRET!

Faces - Regret explores the emotional weight carried by the identities we create throughout our lives. Beneath layers of vibrant pink, green, and yellow, a fragmented face emerges as if buried under memories, decisions, and forgotten versions of itself. The painting suggests that regret is not a single event but a collection of moments that continue to shape who we become.
The work challenges the common desire to rewrite the past. Every brushstroke feels like an attempt to cover something, while every visible layer reveals that nothing truly disappears. The face remains present, carrying traces of mistakes, risks, failures, and lessons. It is a portrait of someone confronting their own history rather than escaping it.
Within the universe of Badass Planet, regret is not considered a weakness. It is proof of action, courage, and experience. Faces Regret invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with the past and to recognize that every wrong turn, every imperfect choice, and every painful memory contributes to the person standing in front of the mirror today.
