About
My Blockhead portraits explore fragmented identity in the digital age, contrasting realism and abstraction. These works on canvas employ geometric blocks to suggest pixelation, they reflect how digital culture impacts anonymity and self-perception, questioning censorship, selective information, and the ever-present gaze of technology.
