Description: This thought-provoking artwork by Manish Barodia features a suspended mask-like face beneath a crescent moon, evoking themes of identity, vulnerability, and control. The strings suggest manipulation or restraint, while the backdrop of shifting hues reflects the complexities of emotion. The work challenges viewers to consider the masks we wear and the forces—internal or external—that shape our expression and presence in the world.
