This series investigates identity through fractured self-portraiture, treating the face as a site of construction, concealment, and transformation. Each piece presents a negotiation between authenticity and performance, revealing how the self is assembled, masked, and continually reshaped. What begins as reflection unsettles into something less certain—an image that no longer simply reflects- but seems to look back.
