Exploring the concept of masking, this piece reveals the tension between a composed exterior and the intense emotions that bubble away beneath the surface. A seemingly calm face overlays a second, more expressive one, frustrated, bored and yearning to break free of the pressure to appear ‘normal’. Rather than a disguise, the outer layer represents just one facet of the self, with the inner layer embodying the desire to unleash suppressed chaos.
