About the Work:

In a world inundated with a ceaseless influx of concepts, “Palimpsest” stands as a testament to the human yearning to peel back the layers of acquired knowledge, perceptions, and societal constructs, unearthing the primal core that defines who we really are. As ancient manuscripts preserve traces of their history, overwritten but leaving evidence of their origins, so does the human experience bear the imprints of evolving ideologies. By exploring the very nature of authenticity, this artwork invites reflection on how external factors influence our identity. Its depths into the labyrinthine corridors of consciousness where the true self resides amidst the chaos of external expectations and cultural impositions.
