A face emerges and dissolves within a dense field of red and black noise, its features rendered through a halftone veil that both reveals and obscures. The image feels caught mid-transmission. Part portrait, part signal. Identity flickers between presence and erasure. The aggressive red palette suggests urgency or alarm, while the granular texture evokes data corruption, surveillance, or the residue of digital compression. Rather than offering a stable likeness, the work stages a confrontation between human recognition and technological interference, asking what remains of the self once it has been filtered, copied, and degraded by the systems that carry it.
