About this artwork
A portrait of what we hide — or what the world erases.
“Absence Yourself II” is an immersive wall installation that merges painting, sculpture, and light to explore the erasure of identity in a society driven by roles, noise, and overload. The faceless figure, outlined in swirling black and white gestures, is crowned by a metallic spotlight — but the light reveals nothing. Instead, it magnifies the void.
Framed in a chaotic assemblage of urban… debris, metal mesh, and architectural scraps, this work is both shrine and prison. It speaks of absence not as emptiness, but as weight — the pressure of not being seen, or of being too visible.
A conceptual centerpiece for galleries, collectors, or institutional spaces.
Ideal for those seeking impactful installation art that confronts themes of identity, isolation, and psychological tension.

« With my art, I seek to bring some inner discomfort, a feeling, something that the person sees and feels that has something else within. »
