Description: This haunting composition by Manish Barodia features a hybrid skull-like form rendered with meticulous textural detail. With its mechanical eye sockets and a keyhole embedded in the cranium, the work evokes a sense of unease and introspection. It probes themes of mortality, surveillance, and the mechanization of the human psyche. The image invites viewers to contemplate what lies behind the mask—what is seen, locked away, or lost to time.
