Abstract Painting

This painting explores the transformation of personal identity and its connection to whiteness. It reflects the evolution from childhood to teenage years, and finally to adulthood, showcasing the complex and diverse fabric of society.
The mouths, eyes, and noses depicted symbolize identity and expression, representing the phenotypical features that reveal ethnicity. The choice to depict exclusively white features highlights the dominance of whiteness in the cultural spotlight.
The thick, white plaster-like paint melting off these features symbolizes the shedding or transformation of identity. It also represents the shedding of ignorance surrounding whiteness and its influence.
