Patterned

Amir Taba | Stand : F04

“Patterned” is an interpretation of our dynamic identities focusing on various levels of complexity. The artwork features a central figure depicted twice: once from the front, as if seen in a mirror, and again in profile, representing an angle that is often invisible to oneself but evident to others.

So, the front-viewed, very bright magenta colored with floral decorations applied onto the face and hands is considered to be the decorated self we tend to wear in the public. Those patterns depict the makeup and haircuts that could modify one’s persona, shaped from external and internal factors.

in contrast, the profile figure, without any decorations, presents a vision from the outside- how other people view you. This depiction aims to capture the ‘true’ version of oneself, a side that is perhaps more authentic yet often hidden from our own view. By showing these two aspects, I invite viewers to consider the tension between self and external perception.
