Executed in his signature pointillist language, The Constructed Gaze dissects the aesthetics of contemporary self-curation. The work interrogates the polished performances of social media and advertising, reframing them through a meticulous, analogue process that transforms fleeting images into enduring icons. At once seductive and critical, it embodies the artist’s unique ability to merge surface allure with cultural critique.
