Mental Structures explores the invisible forces that shape our sense of identity and influence how we relate to ourselves, others and the world.

Faces are often left blank or obscured. By withholding individual features, I shift attention from personal identity towards the psychological states and tensions embodied by the figures. The absence of a recognisable face leaves room for ambiguity and identification.

The figures move between vulnerability and protection, presence and withdrawal, control and instability.            

Gestures, postures, clothing and symbolic elements express what remains difficult to articulate.

Repetition is central to the process. Each mark adds visual and psychological weight, gradually constructing figures that suggest internal states rather than fixed identities.

The series explores the pressures and contradictions beneath the visible surface, and the ways they shape human experience.
