Spirals of fingerprint lines reveal faces drawn from cinema, their identities caught between recognition and abstraction. At the center, The Wolf of Wall Street embodies excess and relentless drive, his image fractured into the very marks that signify individuality.
The surrounding portraits echo similar themes; men defined by power, risk, and consequence, with their expressions warped into patterns that suggest both authority and fragility. The technique blurs portraiture with forensic detail, transforming character into evidence, personality into imprint.
The stark black backdrop heightens the tension, making the images hover between intimacy and distance. Hung in a space, they shift the mood toward introspection, inviting not just admiration but examination; how identity is shaped, remembered, and judged.
What surfaces is more than likeness: it is the trace of ambition and downfall, captured in marks that cannot be erased.
