Original artwork description:

A multilayered identity

This assemblage presents three images — together they read as a fractured self, or three phases of one woman’s evolving identity:

The top canvas shows a sketch of a body — free but unfinished. It reflects a primitive longing for freedom that never fully materialized.

The central portrait depicts a face that appears obscured or overwritten. The identity is already processed, like something erased or redrawn by another’s hand.

The framed piece on the right resembles a digital residue — a pixelated face behind a grid of numbers. Here, the woman is no longer present as a person, but as an archived image, a dataset.

Together, this composition says:

“My body was erased three times —
first as an incomplete fantasy,
then as a controlled portrait,
finally as data.”
