Liam Hart's practice questions the idea of the ego, calling on visual culture symbols to study one’s own identity in relation to others. Like the portrayal of a balloon, the work seeks to encourage the audience to question what inflates their own behaviour, what are we holding onto that's holding us back, and finally, what should we let go of? In this review, symbols such as celebration, inflated objects, emojis, confetti, glitter, etc, are visual cues that run throughout. To compliment potential common behaviours felt amongst all, the canvas is deliberately exposed within each of the works to act as breathing spaces for the viewer to fill in based upon their own lived experiences.
