Talking Heads
2022-2023
Painting, paper, acrylic and glue
Each portrait in the “Talking Heads” series is linked to a specific figure within the power structures, reinterpreting power as a phenomenon. The exaggerated and distorted heads symbolize the tension and internal conflict of those who conceal their true selves behind a facade of authority. The project critically explores how power distorts and erases individuality, making its nature both omnipresent and elusive. In the “Talking Heads” series, I sought liberation by metaphorically peeling the skin off the portraits, leaving behind flared, exalted, and colorful heads that continuously express themselves.
