Description: The artwork features five portraits of the artist crafted in plaster and pigment, each bearing the precise fingerprint of the author. Every face is positioned at the center of a square wooden support, creating a composition that serves as a mirror of contemporary society, focused on the importance of aesthetics and identity tied to appearance. In an era where judgment is often based on physical appearance and people play roles to conform, the artist has chosen to strip the faces of any expression. This gesture aims to neutralize the representation, highlighting the vibrant colors and carefully sculpted fingerprint.
The artwork underscores the need to break free from social stereotypes, presenting expressionless faces that challenge homogenization. By eliminating ephemeral elements like expressiveness, attention is drawn to authenticity and emotions, represented by the colorful pigments. The uniqueness of each individual is manifested through the fingerprint, a distinctive and undeniable sign of one's identity.
In this manner, the artwork offers a profound reflection on the true essence of the individual, unveiling a society that sometimes favors appearance over substance.
