‘Mask Off’
Acrylic & Mixed Media
Checkmate is a trilogy of silent exchanges and subtle movements suspended between presence and absence, clarity and ambiguity. It reveals a complex unfolding, where the boundaries between self and other; mask and truth; control and surrender continuously blur and transform.
This exploration of power and reflection dissects the intricate layers of intimate human connection. Revealing how two forces engage in a continual interplay of identity, control and emotional autonomy.
“The dance of connection and withdrawal in modern intimacy.”
Artist Note: Two individuals caught in a game of proximity and distance. Checkmate invites the viewer into the space where identity, power and vulnerability collide.
Each piece is both an invitation and a confrontation. A mirror held up to the self and the other, challenging the narratives we tell ourselves about control and freedom.
