We have always been intrigued by the damaged alliance between humans and their surroundings, between expectations and satisfactions, between assumptions and assertions, between beliefs and dispositions, between conjectures and despair, finding answers in an answerless world. Troubled with abundant freedom and lessening guidance for our actions with the habitat, the human psyche is forced to design its own moral code, to invent a morality to live by. The impending elemental inconsistency enhances the mind-body duality and contradicts the existence of our essence. Inspired by this thought and our experiences in the modern world we created this installation which features the alteration of faces to recreate the anomaly between the neurons and the empirical research. The objective of this experimental art is to create an argument that bridges the gap between intuitive and deductive reasoning. The inference is driven from the obsolete fragments of human understanding dwelling deep into the alliances with materials. Aligned with the central theme of the show called Psycho, the display is textured with intricate dimensions of the living and the non-living, and a concomitance is consciously created to emphasize the perception to the viewer. The use of the ax rekindles the astute spirit of the viewer. The holographic art technique is used to highlight the incongruity existing in personal and subjective minds reflecting the objective and verifiable bodies. The layers were deliberately created to accentuate the persuasion. After traveling and reading about existentialism through Jean-PaulSartre’s trilogy of The Roads to Freedom (French: Les Chemins de la liberté) our outlook has changed but we still continue to ponder some of the power relationships that exist unexplored. It is not the object but the observer which is the subject matter of this installation.
