Cocooned Identity 2022

"Cocooned Identity" is a profound exploration of self and identity through the medium of mixed media. This 24" x 18" x 7.5" piece is a testament to the layered complexity of the human spirit. The central element, a three-dimensional human face, emerges from the canvas, symbolizing the birth of identity. Surrounding the visage, a cocoon-like structure, created with an intricate web of textural strokes and patterns, represents the myriad influences and experiences that shape and define us.

This artwork invites the viewer to consider the masks we wear and the ones we shed throughout our lives, with each layer of medium adding depth and narrative to the story. The predominantly white palette emphasizes purity and the potential for imprinting personal experiences, while the subtle textures invite a closer look, signifying the hidden intricacies within.

Crafted in 2022, "Cocooned Identity" is not merely a work of art but a conversation piece that asks us to reflect on our own journey of self-discovery and the forces that cocoon our essence. It is a bold statement piece for any collector, perfect for sparking deep, introspective dialogue in a gallery, office, or home setting.
