painting expresses a deep critique of consumerism and the erasure of personal identity in modern society. It presents a faceless, mannequin-like figure draped in mass-produced, synthetic goods — bubble wrap, scarves, headphones — arranged to mimic sacred imagery. The pose recalls classical religious paintings, but the materials are hollow, disposable, and ordinary. The idea is this: we worship refinement, but what we’re really praying to is packaging — curated lifestyles, algorithmic aesthetics, and surface-level perfection. The painting asks whether identity and spirituality have been replaced by consumption and performance. It's a visual prayer for authenticity, made from the very things that threaten to suppress it.
