Blindfolded

Oil on canvas,
14” by 18” (36cm by 46cm),
2024.
This artwork delves into the intricate interplay of identity, perception, and transformation. The mask, adorned with vibrant details and rooted in cultural motifs, represents the external roles we adopt-expressions of heritage, identity, and societal expectations. Yet, the blindfold, obscuring sight, challenges the viewer to consider what lies beneath these outward displays.
The act of blindfolding symbolizes a deliberate turning inward, a call to silence the external noise and rely on intuition, faith, and inner vision. The gesture of the finger to the lips invites contemplation, urging a stillness that reveals the strength and truth often concealed by outward appearances.
"Blindfolded" speaks to the universal journey of self-discovery, where one must navigate the tension between societal identity and personal essence. It is a celebration of unseen strength, a quiet rebellion against superficiality, and an exploration of the transformation that arises from within.
