Description

2022, Charcoal & Palm oil on canvas, 50.8 × 40.64 cm.

In my artwork titled "I am Batman," I explore the personal story of a scar I have had since childhood. Growing up with this scar on my chest, I often felt self-conscious about exposing it to others and would avoid taking off my shirt in the presence of friends or acquaintances. Hiding my scar felt like I was hiding my alter ego, like I was a superhero or villain. It wasn't until I acquired more scars on my body that I became comfortable with showing my scar to the world. This artwork tells the story of my journey towards self-acceptance and vulnerability.
