This abstract portrait pulses with intensity, its fragmented geometry suggesting both a face and a psychological landscape. At the center, a large circular form—resembling an eye—radiates with concentric colors, anchoring the viewer’s gaze. To its right, a more traditionally shaped almond eye peers outward, creating a tension between symbolic and anatomical representation.
Below, a triangular shape evokes a nose, while a curved form hints at a mouth, though both are stylized and partially obscured by overlapping brushstrokes. The facial features emerge from a kaleidoscope of red, blue, yellow, green, and orange—each hue layered in angular shards and sweeping gestures. The background is dense with visual noise: fragmented shapes and color fields that suggest emotional complexity and inner dissonance.
Singer’s composition resists fixed interpretation. It could be read as a face in the process of forming—or dissolving. The interplay of geometry and expression hints at themes of identity, perception, and the fractured nature of selfhood. The painting invites viewers to reconstruct meaning from its vibrant chaos, much like assembling memory from fragments.
