About the work
A suited figure at the center, surrounded by six distinct faces: grinning, cold, seductive, furious, calculating, feral.
These are not other people. They are the same person across different situations, different needs, different rooms. We learn early which face produces which result, and we get very good at moving between them.
The painting does not judge this. It simply asks, honestly, whether there is a face underneath that belongs to nobody but you.
