Instrument of My Own Destruction

Artist

Nadine Alexeev

Description

A portrait without a face, an instrument that makes no sound. What was once a flute has been contorted beyond recognition, forced into the constraints of its surface. This instrument becomes a metaphor for conformity: the anxiety of being perceived, masked by the beauty of the object that contains it.
