Still Confused

Reading note

Still Confused belongs to the Behind the Obvious series, in which the bathroom mirror functions as a mental space rather than a simple reflective surface. The work explores confusion not as a transitional phase, but as a prolonged and unresolved condition. Within a saturated visual field, partially defined figures evolve amid a superimposition of reference points without hierarchy. The painting does not seek to clarify the scene, but to sustain a perceptual instability that reveals a contemporary difficulty in fixing a coherent reading of the self and the world.

Confronted with this dispositif, the figure attempts to grasp the nature of two presences occupying its mental field. These silhouettes, though tangible, remain without precise contours, held within a deliberately indeterminate zone. Their uncertain form does not suggest erasure, but suspension: the gaze has not yet found the necessary distance to situate them—neither spatially nor relationally.
