The Hollow Surprise

Description

A face frozen in shock, mouth agape, pupils dilated—until the shock itself disappears, replaced with a haunting blank stare.

Fleeting Faces – The Disappearing Emotions explores the impermanence of human expression, presenting faces locked in extreme emotional states that change unpredictably.

Instead of fixed portraits, these artworks behave like malleable memories, where:

• Up close, the face dissolves, fading into nothingness.
• Stepping back, a new expression emerges—often completely different from what was originally perceived.
• Changing angles can distort or exaggerate certain features, amplifying emotions to unnatural, unsettling levels.

Each portrait exists in a constant state of transformation, questioning the reliability of human perception, facial recognition, and emotional interpretation.
