2020 -  3d collage -100 H x 100 W x 5 cm - printed-paper and cardboard - framed

This 3d work is part of a series of pieces on the themes of "change" and "identity”. I used a new technique that mixes together drawing, folding and cutting, the media is always the same: reused paper from magazines, leaflets, advertising materials, books. I like to say “paper which lived previous lives”.

Have you ever asked yourself: "What makes me, me?" Is it the place where I come from, my job or maybe my family? We tend to think that we have a kind of essence that defines us once and for all, that is permanent and unchangeable, while our identity is a sum of many different "me". It is like a puzzle where every piece represents a "me" and all together make what I am. Our identity changes all the time and takes different forms as we interpret different roles at work, inside our family, in society.

The face has been depicted in 2 sheets of reused paper from magazines that are then folded and cut giving rise to a paper mesh. The 2 cut and folded sheets of paper have then been layered creating a scrambled effect.

The image is blurred and almost abstract when seen from a short distance. Everything has been encased in an acrylic plastic box.
