Identities

This series explores the visual and psychological complexity of human collectivity — crowds rendered from an aerial perspective, where the individual dissolves into the collective. Seen from above, each figure becomes a mark, a gesture, a pulse in a larger organic system. By abstracting the human form into layered swirls and dense textures, themes of anonymity, connection, and the overwhelming beauty — and chaos — of togetherness are investigated.

The thick, impasto application mimics the physical density of people gathered in protest, celebration, migration, or daily routine. Color is used not just for visual rhythm but to hint at emotion, tension, and variance within unity. At a distance, the paintings appear as textured fields; up close, they reveal human traces — the suggestion of motion, interaction, crowd psychology.

These paintings are not literal depictions but meditations on perspective — how easily the specific becomes abstract, how individuality can vanish or vibrantly assert itself depending on where we stand.
