Original artwork description:

“Laughing Shadows” is a striking charcoal drawing that explores the haunting duality of performance and identity. The figure, painted in bold black-and-white contrasts, wears smeared clown makeup that blurs the line between mask and self. Piercing eyes and an intense stare create a sense of confrontation, pulling the viewer into an unsettling dialogue. Both theatrical and raw, the work reflects themes of vulnerability, disguise, and the darker undertones of human emotion.
