Happy on the Outside examines the contrast between outward cheerfulness and internal reality. Vintage magazine cutouts are layered against a vibrant floral acrylic background, creating a surface that feels bright and inviting at first glance. Beneath the color and charm, the piece reflects on the masks we wear and the effort it takes to appear composed when more complicated emotions sit just below.
