Never Enough

Never Enough is a striking exploration of the tension between tradition, modernity, and luxury. In the foreground stands a Tuareg woman, traditionally dressed and adorned with intricate jewelry that covers much of her face and head. Her eyes are closed, her gaze inward, as if lost in thought or contemplation. She carries a Louis Vuitton bag on her head, an emblem of modernity and wealth that starkly contrasts with her heritage.

Behind her stretches a quiet desert, symbolizing the solitude that accompanies the pursuit of one’s own path. The juxtaposition of the traditional jewelry and the luxury handbag speaks to the isolating nature of chasing answers that may never come—be it the search for personal identity, divine wisdom, or the relentless pursuit of material success. In this painting, the woman’s stillness in the face of both tradition and modernity reflects the deep loneliness that can arise from striving for individualism and wealth in a world that often offers no true answers. It’s a meditation on the emptiness that can result from seeking more—yet never feeling that it is enough.
