This close-up of my face, constructed entirely from geometric shapes, portrays me as if digitally hexed, ensnared by a modern form of witchcraft woven through technology. Two ambiguous rectangles slice through the composition, their presence evoking a cursed disturbance—a spell-like rupture that distorts my identity. Futuristic textures amplify the tension between my organic self and its bewitched, digital reconfiguration. Drawing on Jungian archetypes of the persona and mythological notions of enchantment, this work probes the unsettling power of technology to manipulate self-perception, inviting viewers to question the boundaries of their own identity under the spell of a digital age.
