Description

I invite reflection on the fragility of ourselves and the variability of reality, delving into deep philosophical aspects linked with the ego. The plot of my artwork, in the context of contemporary art, visualizes how human personality, desire, and socio-cultural influences can be symbolically represented.

Our ego seeks to satisfy individual desires within the framework of reality, considering circumstances and social norms. It plays a crucial role in shaping personal identity, interacting with the world, and making decisions based on an understanding of desires and needs.

To engage the viewer in this theme, I selected the album cover of Travis Scott - Astroworld, photographed by David LaChapelle. David's photos are associated with surrealism and conceptual art. I aimed to impart hidden meanings with my characters and their interpretations through his unconventional compositional approach.

Let's ask: What happens when the ego conflicts personal desires with societal or moral norms?
