We are all prisoners in some way. There is always a situation, a context, or a mood that can make us feel entrapped, locked in, and silenced. In these moments, our essence screams for freedom.
This series depicts that universal struggle. Using a sheet of latex as a metaphorical boundary, it captures the fight of a human being trying to break through. The surface conceals all human details, erasing skin, colour, and eyes.
What remains is a ghost like shape, forcing us to focus purely on the raw expression of a prisoner’s struggle.
“What ‘Prisoners’ achieves, is a profound deconstruction of selfhood within confinement. By abstracting the human form behind an almost epidermal veil, the artist transcends mere portraiture, forcing a visceral confrontation with the universal psychological landscape of restriction.
It is a work that speaks less of physical incarceration and more of the existential angst inherent in all perceived boundaries.
A truly astute visual semiotics of entrapment.”
