Hollow Heir presents a stark meditation on inherited power stripped of certainty and selfhood. The crowned figure’s vacant, searching eyes and fractured features suggest an identity shaped by expectation rather than conviction. Simone’s aggressive layering, drips, and erratic line work create a sense of emotional erosion, reinforcing the notion of an heir burdened by legacy yet hollowed by doubt. The crown remains present, but its authority feels fragile and unresolved.
