Strip away the learned layers—culture, language, memory—and what’s left stands at the threshold of something raw.Instinct rises: ancient, organic, undeniable. But unlike the beasts, we don’t just react—we know. We choose. If everything we've been taught vanishes, and only instinct and reason remain...what path do we take?

Animask
Acrylic on Illustration Board
“Beneath the mask, the animal waits—but it knows.”
Animask considers the quiet space between instinct and reason—the moment in which all acquired knowledge, identity, and cultural framework fall away. What remains is the essential self: guided by organic memory, primal intelligence, and the subtle presence of choice.
Painted in acrylic on a 15 x 15 inch art board, the work invites viewers to reflect on what lies beneath social constructs and human conditioning. Are we merely animals in disguise—or something more complex, caught in the balance between nature and consciousness?
