If I Were a Virgo reflects on the desire to understand oneself through observation, analysis, and reflection.
The figure is composed of three fragmented sections of the head, stitched together as though pieces of the self are being carefully examined and reassembled. Within the mind, a person peers through a microscope, intricate gears turn endlessly, and a small fragment of a real head appears among them. Together, these elements suggest a search for meaning through close attention, questioning, and self-examination.
Perched above the figure, a hummingbird extends its long beak into the opening between the stitched fragments, as if searching for something hidden beneath the surface. Wheat fields and golden stalks flow throughout the body, symbolizing growth, patience, and the gradual process of understanding. Set against pink linen and purple-orange nebulae illuminated by soft yellow light, the work unfolds within a landscape where curiosity and self-reflection coexist. It invites viewers to consider whether clarity comes from finding all the answers, or from learning to live with the questions.
