This painting created in 2020 and exhibited in my solo exhibition "If You Close Your Eyes" is an exploration of the portrait, the inner portrait that can't be seen but what makes us who we are. The idea that we are one constant being but continuously evolving person. The masked sitting figure for me is the Being and the one that perceives reality through the VR mask is the person in that moment. Though this painting, like all of them, can be interpreted however you please.
