Beneath the Surface

Category: Faces

50x70cm

This monochromatic artwork in white, created using textured techniques and paperclay (a papier-mâché paste), depicts a face partially submerged beneath the surface of the water. The face’s eyes are transformed into fish, symbolizing the desire to see beyond the surface, to dive into the perspectives of others as an ultimate act of empathy. The choice of white, a color that evokes purity and introspection, emphasizes the delicate balance between the individual and their surrounding environment. The artwork invites the viewer to reflect on the ability to look beyond appearances, the power of empathy, and the beauty of seeing the world with different eyes, seeking to understand the emotions and experiences of others. A piece that plays with texture to evoke sensations of immersion and deep connection.
