‘Multiplicity’ (2023) is an exploration of the psychological concept of multiplicity, a profound meditation on the fragmented nature of selfhood within the singularity of human existence. The installation presents a realistic painting on a mirrored surface, situated within a forest, where the boundaries between the physical and the illusory blur into ambiguity. The painting portrays a female figure, a reflection that is both present and absent—a visual metaphor for the internalized selves that coexist within the individual psyche.

In this work, the viewer encounters not only the painted figure but also the living presence of the model herself, whose physical form is reflected in the negative space of the mirror. This reflection, however, does not merely mimic her form but introduces a third figure, seemingly leaning against a tree, existing only in the mirrored illusion. Here, the artwork delves into the multiplicity of self—the public self, the behavioral self, the ideal self—each distinct yet inseparable from the whole. These selves, though intangible and often contradictory, are anchored within the singular, physical body that is their home. The installation invites viewers to question the reality of these constructed identities, challenging the boundaries between what is seen and what is truly present, and reflecting on the social and psychological dimensions of self-perception and identity
