🎨 Twisted Perceptions – The Face Between Fragments

🖌️ CONCEPT / STORY

A face emerges from layers of black, silver, and fractured color, never becoming completely visible. Parts of the figure appear sharply defined while others dissolve into stains, ruptures, and darkness.

The work explores identity as something unstable and incomplete. What we show, what we hide, and what others believe they see rarely form the same person.

The fragmentation does not destroy the portrait—it becomes the language through which the portrait exists.

Sometimes identity is clearest in the places where it breaks.
