To be human is to pretend to be human

Reflecting on the process of constant self-determination and the words of Zygmunt Bauman that “by definition, people are born; they must create their beings. The definition tells you who you are, while the essence lures you with what you are not yet, but you can become, "I have made an attempt in my work to illustrate the process of deconstructing the identity of an individual. Defining one's identity often gives an incomplete picture, full of gaps and empty places, or fragments clearly mismatched to each other. The constant desire to re-create oneself makes the shells look like numerous failures and failures.
Sometimes the artwork space is filled with a quasi-intimate relationship when it depicts a meeting of two. Can they expect a depth of experience, or is it marked by superficiality, falsehood, appearances and elusiveness typical of the time of constant change of identity, the time of unstable relationships, feelings, sensations? The graphics pose such questions without aspiring to give a full answer. Rather, they encourage a general reflection on the problem of identity deconstruction. I analyze this topic and develop it in my next artistic realizations.
