The Fool

The figure wears a stark, expressionless mask beneath a traditional multi-pronged jester’s cap while two floating theatrical faces hover at either side; thoughts made visible. Both staged and isolated, “The Fool” is trapped in an endless act.

This piece expresses the terror of feeling intellectually inadequate, where the question of whether to laugh or cry becomes meaningless because, in the end, the fool always performs, caught in a loop of self-doubt and imposed identity.

To laugh or to cry? It doesn’t matter since you’ll always be a fool.
