In this work, I use vertical black lines on a white surface to create an optical illusion where a face slowly reveals itself. The lines vary in thickness and spacing, allowing order and chaos to exist at the same time. From certain angles or distances, the image becomes clear; from others, it breaks apart into pure abstraction. That shift in perception is intentional.
I’m drawn to the tension between visibility and obscurity. By working with a minimal color palette, I remove anything unnecessary and focus entirely on contrast, rhythm, and negative space. What isn’t drawn is just as important as what is, the absence helps define the presence.
This piece is my exploration of identity and perspective. The portrait isn’t fixed or absolute; it changes depending on how it’s viewed. I want the viewer to engage actively, to move, to look again, and to experience how perception shapes meaning. Through simplicity and restraint, the work invites quiet contemplation while subtly challenging the way we see.
