The work presents the face as a fragmented territory, a space traversed by layers that both distort and continuously redefine identity. What is visible is not offered as objective truth but as a construction, an interplay of presence and absence that challenges perception. Between veils, shadows, and silences, the figure exists in a state of tension where memory, desire, and experience converge, generating ambiguity and displacement. Each fragment seems to evoke the familiar while simultaneously concealing it, inviting the viewer to navigate between certainty and doubt.

​

In this delicate balance, perception becomes a participatory act: the viewer engages with the fragmented face, interpreting, completing, and reconstructing it in their own imagination. The work articulates a poetics of fragmentation, reflecting the complexity of contemporary identity as something never fixed, always in flux, and constantly shaped by memory, emotion, and cultural narratives. In this space between what is seen and what is imagined, the image becomes a mirror of the self’s multiplicity and its intricate layers of presence, absence, and desire.
