This work explores the duality of humanity through collage and deconstruction. One image, fractured with smoke and mechanical symbols, reveals the cold dissipation of self under technology. The other, blending geisha and modern woman, reflects a fragile yet conflicted identity between tradition and modernity. Together, they echo the tension between mask and soul, reality and illusion, questioning whether we see our true selves—or only a constructed reflection.
