This artwork explores the tension between public performance and private reality. A figure parts a theatrical curtain of hair to reveal not a face, but an empty stage — suggesting absence, exhaustion, and disconnection beneath socially rehearsed roles. The work reflects how everyday interactions, polite scripts, and curated self-presentation can function as performances, concealing vulnerability and fatigue. Rather than depicting identity as something fully visible, the image suggests it is withheld, obscured, or temporarily abandoned under the pressure to keep appearing “on stage.”
