Instead, the faces of the girls and women are artistically dissolved, their recognizable features replaced by a turbulent flow of molten colors, challenging the viewer's perception of identity and form. Each portrait in "Melted" is both haunting and mesmerizing. Where one anticipates eyes, nose, and mouth, there are instead wild rivulets of colors—vivid reds, soothing blues, bright yellows, and shocking pinks—that cascade down the canvas. The colors, while beautiful, create a sense of unsettlement, a poignant reminder of the unstable and ever-changing nature of human identity. The colors seamlessly transition from one to another, suggesting that beneath the skin, a spectrum of unseen emotions, thoughts, and desires exists. The 'faceless' portraits thus force the viewers to confront their biases, expectations, and perceptions of identity. These works are put together through the digital elaboration of photographs, capturing the textures of sweets and candies. They are universes in which one can easily become lost, leading to dependency.
