"Conditional Visibility"
Acrylic paint on canvas
"Conditional Visibility" presents a critical narrative about how female identity can only become visible within specific social codes. The pixelated face symbolizes the anonymization of individual identity and the fragmented sense of self in the digital age, while the figure's stillness transforms into a form of suppressed representation. The withering flowers establish a metaphor between fragility and silent exhaustion spreading through time. The work questions the gaze regime that allows women to exist only within predetermined boundaries, implying that visibility can simultaneously be a form of erasure.
