Dei is part of an ongoing series exploring the body, proportion, and ideas of the divine. Combining references to classical sculpture with contemporary image-making, the work investigates the relationship between physical presence and constructed identity. The contrast between flesh and metal, softness and solidity, creates a deliberate ambiguity. The masked figure appears simultaneously exposed and protected, vulnerable and monumental. The mask evokes a paradox of vision and blindness: it conceals the face while drawing attention to the act of looking itself, suggesting both revelation and concealment, protection and exposure. Familiar yet distant, the figure occupies a space between the human and the symbolic.
