Layers of Perception

Description

This artwork delves into the complexities of identity and self-perception through the layering of figures and symbolic elements. The central figure’s body becomes a canvas for a narrative, with two smaller portraits enclosed within a garment, suggesting hidden stories or emotions beneath the surface. The detailed ink work contrasts with the flowing, organic lines that cascade down the background, adding a sense of fluidity and introspection. The eye on the left side of the composition peers out, inviting the viewer to reflect on the act of observation, both internal and external. The juxtaposition of vibrant reds with the softer, more muted hues enhances the tension between what is revealed and what remains concealed. This piece encourages contemplation on the multi-faceted nature of identity and the layers that compose our understanding of self.
