“Untitled (Unspoken)” is the reference title for this modern mixed media artwork that speaks to the complexities of identity and communication. The central figure in the piece is a non-binary head, presented in a way that transcends traditional gender portrayals, emphasizing the fluidity and spectrum of human identity.
The figure’s face is partially obscured or overlaid with collected collage elements, suggesting a struggle with voice and the challenge of being heard or the pain of being silenced. The layering over the mouth area, in particular, may indicate a stifled voice or a suppression of expression.
This artwork incorporates a diverse array of textures and materials: snatches of dictionary pages imply a search for definitions or the right words, while floral patterns may represent growth and beauty emerging from constraint. Woven fabric elements speak to the interwoven nature of personal histories and identities, and the abstract linework could signify the chaotic paths of thought and the nonlinear journey of finding one’s voice.
For the collector, “Untitled (Unspoken)” offers a powerful commentary on the struggles of self-expression and the courage required to live authentically. It is a piece that invites introspection and empathy, connecting with viewers on a deeply human level through its layered symbolism and textured narrative.
Artwork is 12 x 18, on watercolor paper, signed.
