This series does not depict a physical ugliness; it addresses the deformation of character, not facial features.<\/p>\n

The figures here represent the multifaceted states of humanity\u2014be they double-faced, triple-faced, or possessing countless countenances. Mimicry that shifts with the setting, expressions molded by self-interest, gazes that bend or harden in the face of power\u2026 Here, ugliness is not an aesthetic concern; it is a matter of posture.<\/p>\n

These sculptures show normalized decay, not overt evil.
Seeing injustice and remaining silent, knowing the truth and bending it, switching sides for the sake of comfort\u2026 Making the mask the face itself.<\/p>\n

Beauty still exists. It exists in nature. It exists in the gaze of a child. It exists in uncalculated compassion.
But what I see in most adult human beings is a mask.<\/p>\n

And the longer the mask is worn, the more the face underneath begins to resemble it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This series delves into the inside of the human being, not the outside.
Ugliness, not looking like oneself<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
