Turn Around (Part 3) 🌱
In this image, perception is challenged, and the familiarity is quietly fractured. At first glance, it seems straightforward: Robert sitting on a bench, holding a frame. But once you look closer, you realize his entire pose defies normal body logic. By presenting a view that defies bodily logic, the work asks: Can we ever truly face ourselves? The act of “turning around” becomes both literal and metaphorical — urging introspection, yet trapping the subject in an endless retreat from his own gaze. The frame suggests the constructed nature of identity, while the physical impossibility of his pose evokes the contortions we undergo in pursuit of self-understanding. Here, the self becomes a paradox: always present, yet always just out of view.
