METRO GALLERY: SWIMMING BELOW THE SURFACE – THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE SOCIAL MASK

Artist Statement

This series of collages explores the disorientation felt when confronting one’s unmasked personality during the onset of the COVID lockdown. Using dynamically scanned images of faces in motion, the work prompts reflection on the outcomes of shedding societal facades. It ultimately poses the uncomfortable question: who do we become when no one is observing us?”
