Perception

'Perception' plays with distortion, movement, and surrealism, featuring a warped, hand-drawn face overlaid on a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. The swirling, red-tinted effect gives the illusion of motion, pulling the viewer into a hypnotic, dream-like state. The face’s exaggerated features, particularly the lips and eyes, add a sense of disorientation, commenting on altered states of consciousness, perception, or the unreliability of memory.
