2023

In 2023, the artist created this large-scale painting, which reflects on collective spectatorship and the position of the individual within contemporary society. Two monumental nude figures sit back-to-back against a vast, radiant sky, their introspective expressions contrasting with the bustling crowd of onlookers below. The composition echoes the format of public monuments, yet the figures are neither heroic nor idealized—they are vulnerable and withdrawn. By staging this encounter between private emotion and public gaze, the work interrogates how individuals are perceived, consumed, and objectified within collective cultural narratives. The gathering crowd, many wearing masks, situates the scene in a post-pandemic reality, further emphasizing themes of distance, alienation, and the spectacle of human experience.
