Scheduled Dissolution (2021)

Encased in the narrow vise of two blind walls, a female figure endures the silent pressure of social injunctions. The work materializes contemporary alienation, where the obligation of conformity and the cult of appearance ultimately dispossess the individual of their fundamental nature, reducing the being to a polished and synthetic facade. Beneath the varnish of external expectations, the composition reveals a space of intimate resistance. At the top of the composition, the truncated half-crown bears witness to a sovereignty amputated by conformism, while the third frontal eye opposes an unalterable lucidity to the surrounding illusion. Even pain is frozen into tears of gold, denouncing the forced aestheticization of suffering through the gaze of others. At the tip of the chin, the dripping material marks the breaking point of the mask. Far from merely depicting a state of confinement, the canvas captures the pivotal moment when the artifice cracks to let the raw force of life resurface.
