Expect

Each face echoes the last, yet none are the same—drawn and redrawn by the urgency of time, like memories fading in movement.
where presence is just the residue of perception.
A face repeats and dissolves, slipping into a landscape of motion—where identity fractures and every layer becomes a trace of emotion.
What begins as a portrait unravels into a rhythm of glances—mirrored, distorted, multiplied like city lights on a rainy night.

A repeated, deconstructed face transforms into a shifting landscape. From left to right—and back—the image layers like emotional geology. Repetition becomes movement, tension, slippage. Marker lines redraw contours, revealing hidden forms like shadows in the city. Each face, identical yet different, is crossed by time and gaze.

The work is fragmented—inviting the viewer to penetrate its details through sight. Vivid colors and scratching lines evoke both graffiti culture and pop art, where the image bursts, multiplies, and contaminates itself. Like an endless sliding door, it reflects the fast pace of the city, where we only glimpse faces and end up seeing others. In the frenzy of repetition, each variation becomes a story. The face is no longer a portrait—it’s a mirror, a threshold, an interference. A presence that shifts as we look.
