Losing Oneself examines the gradual erosion of identity under the pressure of imposed roles, expectations and repeated acts of self-concealment. The face appears not as a stable portrait, but as something being worn away - caught between presence and disappearance. The weathered, textured surface suggests the slow accumulation of experience, while the mesh covering the eyes becomes both barrier and filter, separating inner perception from the gaze of the outside world.
The work asks what remains when the identities we perform begin to replace the self beneath them. Rather than depicting a single moment of crisis, it holds a quieter process of disappearance - the point at which adaptation becomes self-erasure. Within that tension lies a resistance: the need to preserve an inner truth before it is completely obscured.
Losing Oneself exists on the fragile boundary between belonging and erasure, between being seen by others and becoming invisible to oneself.
