Description

First fragment of the “Faces of Macbeth” cycle Born from the psychological ruins of Macbeth, Visions of Turmoil navigates the unstable threshold between ambition and disintegration, where identity ceases to remain singular and begins to fracture into spectral selves. The central visage — suspended beneath geometric fissures and hollow circular eyes — does not portray a character, but a consciousness haunted by its own becoming. Here, the face transforms into a site of metaphysical conflict: a theater in which desire, guilt, prophecy, and annihilation coexist in perpetual tension. Swarming chromatic fields, fluid distortions, and layered gestures construct an atmosphere of psychic turbulence, while the juxtaposition of watercolor, rapidograph, and eyeshadow destabilizes the boundary between material and apparition, permanence and decay. Rather than illustrating Shakespeare’s tragedy, the work attempts to inhabit its afterimage — the residue left behind when power corrodes the architecture of the self. The physical iteration of this piece was acquired by an independent filmmaker in 2014. Originally presented during Spectator Architect ’ s early blockchain practice on Foundation, the work now persists as part of an evolving archival constellation within the artist’s digital oeuvre.
