This work arises from an experience of identity collapse, where the concepts and narratives that construct the self cease to provide a stable answer to the question of existence.
The portrait is made using a black and white dripping paint technique. The figure appears as if emerging and dissolving at the same time, partially formed through the flow of paint. The face remains recognizable, yet unstable, as though it is in a continuous state of appearance and disappearance.
The dark, almost lifeless gaze intensifies this sense of suspension between presence and dissolution. Rather than representing a fixed identity, the work presents the self as something unstable and in constant transformation.
