About the artwork
This work features three men dressed only in underwear, each with his head covered by a black plastic bag. This composition makes us both intimate with and alienated from the characters. The use of color and light and the figures are arranged to create a composition that is both intriguing and disturbing, questioning the viewer on themes such as identity, anonymity and human vulnerability.
