| “Decoding the Dandy” is an exploration of identity, performance, and self-expression.
The subject both challenges and reimagines traditional notions of masculinity and presentation. The clown motif alludes to the roles we are compelled to play—sometimes exaggerated, sometimes misunderstood—while the extravagant attire and vibrant heels evoke both confidence and vulnerability. Through its dynamic contrasts and layers of colour, the work celebrates the complexity of individuality, inviting viewers to question societal expectations and embrace the beauty of authentic expression. |
