“Disillusion – Contemporary Mask 2” is a poignant and visually arresting portrait of a young child, whose face is layered with chaotic blocks of color—yellow, blue, red, and black—each symbolizing fragments of lost identity, colonized dreams, and systemic failure. The mask here is not worn, but imposed by a world that sees innocence as a canvas to overwrite. This work by Riccardo Lopez is part of a broader series reflecting on displacement, cultural trauma, and identity erased by progress. A silent scream, printed on transparent glossy film with 180g depth.
