Behind the Masks

This large-scale work explores the layers of thought within an individual's inner world, their social roles, and the disconnection they experience from their own identity in an increasingly digital world. The dark and ambiguous base at the lower part of the body symbolizes the depths of the subconscious; while the horizontal color stripes at chest level represent the emotional fluctuations passing through the mind. The colorful and sharp square blocks covering the facial area emphasize how the mind compartmentalizes information, memories, and emotions. The fact that the face is composed of pixelated blocks rather than distinct features holds a mirror up to the viewer, prompting the question: "How many pieces are we truly made of?" 70x120 Acrylic Work 1/1
