"What are we?

The infant arrives at the world by crossing the door, open himself up to infinite possibilities, where the unknown will forever be such. The landscape mutates, the strangeness moves them. The dialogue of the masks, open their eyes, knowing themself fictions, and contemplate unlimited discovery."

I worked with the symbologies that stemmed from the concepts of facing the self within, the angst and the darkness, and accepting them as part of ourselves. Allowing uncertainty to open its way into possibilities of being and doing. My intention was to invite the spectator to engage with that depth and by that giving value to the transformative power of the question “what are we?”.

I did research on the field of psychoanalysis. Then I had a photoshoot of myself done and used the different perspectives into a digital composition, then added some outside references. Next I translated all, the observed forms and the imagined ones, into the drawing technique on top of the light-table. The inking and the pointillism are handmade, then scanned and painted with digital colors.
