The pixelated background juxtaposes heritage craft with digital aesthetics, evoking themes of displacement and hybridity. Executed on a handcrafted circular wooden board (55 cm diameter), the work references the format of a coin, transforming the portrait into a meditation on value, migration, and belonging. The frontal layout and sculptural depth of the piece enhance its presence as both image and object. Painted in acrylic and ready to hang, this one-of-a-kind artwork belongs to the “Currencies” series—a body of work that examines symbolic economies, identity construction, and the politics of visibility. Each piece can be shown individually or assembled into modular panels. Ideal for collectors of socially engaged portraiture and contemporary figurative art.
