Description

This playful yet deeply symbolic composition turns the human mouth into a surreal vehicle—both literally and metaphorically. Constructed with collaged patterns, disjointed limbs, and unexpected juxtapositions, the work examines the body not as a singular form but as a patchwork of experiences, aesthetics, and voices. The open lips, often a symbol of speech or sensuality, are here transformed into a container of fragmented yet expressive elements, from polka-dot fabrics to film reels to botanical tendrils.

What stands out is the work’s whimsical surrealism, echoing the spirit of René Magritte or Frida Kahlo’s dreamlike symbology, though with a more contemporary and graphic-art flair. The feet—emerging from the mouth and stepping delicately on symbolic objects like a pink rose and a red bowl of water—suggest a journey where identity is negotiated not only through language, but through movement, gender, memory, and nature.

The use of color-coded fabrics and textures within the mouth alludes to fashion, storytelling, and bodily identity, possibly pointing to themes of intersectionality or hybrid heritage. Each leg tells a different story, and the visual humor disguises a deeper narrative about multiplicity and the body’s role in articulating personal truth.
