Within you 

Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze created "Within you" with paint in the 20th century. The artwork presents a poised woman in an abstracted setting, inviting us to explore the intersections of control, performance, and internal experience. There is an interesting tension between the soft color palette and the hard tools she uses. In her elegant pose, the figure seems to control the spinning top and the long stick. But are we really in control? This painting resonates with the emotional labor often invisible in female performance. The brushstrokes around her evoke the feeling of turbulence, as if the poised figure is in fact an introspective portrait of an anxious mind. "Within you" asks us to reflect on the balance between external expectations and internal realities, and the performances that constitute our daily lives.
