The artwork titled "Would You Still Love Me If My Face Looked Like This?" is a compelling abstract drawing measuring 28x36 cm. Executed in ink, this piece presents a distorted human face rendered in a purely black and white palette. The face in the drawing is characterized by its exaggerated and asymmetrical features, which challenge standard perceptions of beauty and symmetry. One of the most striking components is the eyes. The larger eye is intricately detailed with complex patterns, while the smaller counterpart is simpler, creating a stark contrast that draws attention to the varying degrees of intricacy. The nose and mouth are highlighted with bold, thick lines that give these features an almost cartoon-like exaggeration, adding to the piece's surreal quality. The hair, composed of curved lines and spirals, introduces a sense of movement and fluidity, enhancing the dynamic nature of the drawing. Patterns and shapes, such as dots and stripes, are incorporated throughout the face. These elements not only add to the abstract aesthetic but also invite the viewer to engage with the multiple layers of complexity within the artwork. The combination of surrealism with whimsical attributes results in a captivating and expressive piece that provokes a deep contemplation on identity and appearance. A unique aspect of this artwork is its medium; it is drawn on Yasutomo mineral paper—an unconventional choice made from rocks instead of trees. This distinctive characteristic contributes to the texture and longevity of the piece, offering a novel tactile experience for the viewer. "Would You Still Love Me If My Face Looked Like This?" stands as a testament to innovative artistic techniques and the exploration of human forms through an abstract lens.
