In Hidden, the central figure surges with eyes covered by a dense shadow, a gesture that both conceals and protects. The absence of sight—usually a symbol of identity and presence—shifts attention to the lips, skin, and contained expression, revealing a vulnerability that is at once strength.

The urban graffiti background contrasts with the realistic softness of the portrait, creating a dialogue between the public space of the street and the intimate space of subjectivity. The gesture of the hand, which veils the vision, suggests resistance, censorship, or introspection, leaving the observer the task of interpreting what remains invisible.

Hidden questions about what we choose to show and what we prefer to hide invite us to reflect on layers of identity, silence, and visibility.
