* Obscured *
For this week's curation, "Obscured," we recognize the human head not merely as a vessel but a site of mystery, transformation, and ambiguity.
Through various interpretations, these 5 works challenge the traditional portrait, exploring what lies beneath the surface. Faces are fragmented, blurred, or hidden, symbolizing the complexities of identity, memory, and perception.
The obscured head represents what is unknown or concealed in ourselves and others, inviting you to question how much of what we see is shaped by what remains unseen. This curation explores the unseen depths of the human psyche.
See these artworks in their full glory and get to know the artists behind them in this thread: Grant Spanier, @luluxxx, Israel Riqueros, Christoph Gromer, Tatiana Tsiguleva.
