How can a woman remain authentic in an era when the expectations of beauty are aligned with artificially constructed ideals? How can we stay unique when the transformative forces of the digital world glorify templates? This painting is a powerful reflection on these social questions. The woman standing before the mirror does not actually see herself, but rather the perfected, idealized version expected by society. The vibrant abstract background conveys the sterilized yet oversaturated visual environment of social media, where everything appears more beautiful and more perfect than in reality. The exaggeration is not accidental—the caricature-like face is a satire of the artificial beauty mask. Yet instead of irony, tension and sensitivity take place on the canvas. At the same time, the work also shows that the real, natural face is far more capable of conveying emotions easily and authentically. The true face is the prerequisite of self-identity.
