🩸 Twisted Perceptions – Self Surgery
🖌️ CONCEPT / STORY
This artwork explores the impossible act of repairing oneself from within. The fractured face reveals not flesh, but emotional collapse, while surgical instruments become symbols of desperate self-reconstruction. No external force is responsible for the damage—the figure has become both the patient and the surgeon.
Each crack represents a memory too heavy to erase, and every attempt to stitch the broken identity together only exposes deeper fractures beneath the surface. The calm expression contrasts with the violent act, emphasizing how internal suffering is often carried in silence.
Rather than portraying horror, the piece visualizes the endless human desire to fix what cannot simply be repaired.
