"Facade of Stoicism" is a compelling work rendered on a 12 x 9 paper, engaging viewers with its raw and unfiltered exploration of emotional concealment. The blueprint technique bathes the piece in a characteristic, contemplative blue, which serves as a backdrop for the starkly contrasting red inscription 'POKER FACE' that dominates the composition. Below, a somber visage emerges, marked with a deliberately drawn red frown, manifesting the internal struggle between genuine emotion and its suppression. This piece delivers a powerful commentary on the masks we wear and the unspoken battles we face, captured through the interplay of traditional photographic development and expressive, bold crayon marks.
