I built the artwork in such a way that the gaze rests on the unstitching of the skin on the back of the figure. The pulling out stitches symbolically represent a metaphor of freedom: we often adopt a second personality because we are unable to “be” ourselves when we relate to others. The fear of being judged or not accepted by society leads men to wear a mask: only by stripping off this mask – built for personal defense – men will learn to accept themselves for what they are finally finding  an inner peace.
