THE PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
EXHIBITION & ARTBOOK
Welcome to a journey through the labyrinth of human psyche, where words fade and expressions reign supreme. Within these walls, we unravel the intricate tapestry of emotions, veiled behind the guise of language. Each glance, every gesture, a silent symphony echoing through the depths of our being. Behold the marvel of human visage, adorned with 43 breaded woven muscles, orchestrating a kaleidoscope of over 10,000 emotions. Within the subtle dance of these minuscule movements lies a saga, a whispered tale of our deepest desires, fears, and joys. Inspired by the enigmatic tv series “Lie to Me,” and Paul Ekman book “Unmasking the face” and “Telling Lies” we embark on a journey beyond deception, into the heart of human emotional state. Here, through the lens of psychological inquiry, we unveil sixteen emotions, immortalized in a picture. Witness how emotions transcend the boundaries of age and experience, painting the faces of children, young maidens, and venerable sages alike. For emotions are the universal language of the soul, speaking volumes beyond the boundaries of words. My aim is to unknot an alchemy of science and art, illuminating the hidden layers of human expression. In the delicate nuances of micro-expressions, we find a sanctuary, a sacred channel to the essence of humanity.
