THE HUMAN IMPOSTER

The Human Imposter is an installation that explores the tension between internal experience and external perception. It shows how the roles we perform respond to the spaces and systems we move through. Just like an object is shaped by its context, so are we.

It started as a visual experiment to unmask the artist’s own inner imposter, but grew into a broader reflection on the imposter experience as something we perform, influenced by external systems, expectations, and pressure.

To the artist, the process of making the masks was an act of control and surrender, a balance between restriction and release.
The masks conceal and reveal.

Now the audience is invited to step behind the masks and experience their own presence.

This work doesn’t offer answers. It invites you to shift position, move around, and notice how you feel in the in-between;
between presence and absence, between seeing and being seen.
