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?”

 

Sid Trajkovski is an interdisciplinary artist and creator based in amiskwacîwâskahika, a.k.a Edmonton. Over the past seven years, Sid has delved into the world of collage, utilizing art as a vehicle for introspection and comprehension. Sid’s pieces encourage viewers to contemplate alternate realities where traditional limitations fade. Through psychedelic expression, Sid prompts others to embark on a journey of self-reflection and exploration, utilizing creativity to surpass the boundaries of everyday reality.
