Untitled 12

Three feminine visages hover like shifting masks—profile, frontal, and three-quarter—suggesting the psyche seen from multiple angles, each gaze calm yet withholding as if guarding a private history. Below, the ram’s monumental head anchors the composition with a ritual gravity; its curling horns form a protective halo that both frames and pressures the human presence above, turning portraiture into totem. The crisp whites of the faces, punctuated by lacquered red lips, collide with the earthy animal body and the bright, almost childlike birds at the margins, creating a tense harmony between instinct, ornament, and conscience. In this stacked hierarchy, identity reads as a negotiation between the cultivated self and the older, animal intelligence that silently insists on being acknowledged.
