The It Factor: Fragmented Portrait Collage | Selective Presence & Human Connection | 16x20"

An Inquiry Into the Fractured Terrain of Modern Connection and Agency
"The 'It' Factor" takes shape amid fractured fragments of faces, half-words, and scattered phrases that resist a single narrative. It is a collage of presence and absence, where recognition flickers within deliberate disruption. Bold, angular strokes of green and yellow cut diagonally across the surface, acting as both barriers and invitations to look deeper.

Faces peer out with varied emotions, caught between vulnerability and guarded assertion. Words like "SEE," "life goes," and "HOPE YOU..." hover as incomplete echoes, gesturing toward untold stories and the limits of communication.

This work is a powerful inquiry into engagement and selective presence. It is an unmistakable assertion of agency—a quiet refusal of obligation and a guarded "I will" whispered through layered surfaces. The piece holds space for the complex, often fractured ways we perceive and choose to engage with the world.
