Original artwork description:

retaken now, June 2025

The portrait has become less about likeness and more about tension — between presence and erasure, clarity and distortion. I’m interested in that space where the image breaks down, but still looks back at you.

This piece is not about destruction, but about interruption — of the gaze, of expectations, of identity itself. The expressive marks, the intrusions of raw color, are gestures of resistance against polish and perfection.
