Be Real explores the meeting point of two contrasting identities — human and animal, instinct and awareness.
By blending these opposites, the work reflects transformation, inner conflict, and the search for balance between our wild nature and our conscious self.
Through monochrome contrasts and sculptural textures, the piece invites the viewer to question perception and authenticity — what is shown, what is hidden, and what lies in between.
Mixed media portrait on wooden panel with textured sculptural elements.
Currently held in a private collection in the USA. Due to its large scale and shipping weight of approximately 40 kg (including custom-built crate), international re-shipment may be subject to collector approval. If the work is unavailable for the finalist exhibition, it may be replaced by a closely related piece from the same body of work.
