Etamae’s “Pariah – The Hidden Persona” exhibition is a deeply emotional exploration of the human psyche. It taps into the raw and vulnerable parts of ourselves that we often try to keep hidden from others, and even from ourselves.
Each portrait in the exhibition is a striking representation of a person’s inner self, stripped bare of the masks and facades we wear in our daily lives. The layers that Etamae portrays in her cubes are like a metaphor for the emotional barriers that we put up to protect ourselves from the world. But in reality, these barriers can also prevent us from experiencing the full spectrum of human emotion, including joy, love, and connection.
One of the most powerful aspects of Etamae’s exhibition is the way in which it encourages us to confront our own hidden personas. It asks us to consider the parts of ourselves that we may be ashamed of or feel are not socially acceptable. It reminds us that we are complex and multifaceted beings, and that there is no shame in embracing our flaws and imperfections.
At the same time, the exhibition also challenges us to think about the emotions and experiences of others. Through her artwork, Etamae invites us to step into the shoes of those who may be marginalized or ostracized by society. She reminds us that everyone has their own unique journey and struggles, and that we should strive to be more compassionate and understanding towards one another.
The addition of the lyrics from Fever Ray’s “Keep the Streets Empty for Me” adds yet another layer of emotion to the exhibition. The song’s haunting melody and poignant lyrics speak to the desire for solitude and a retreat from the chaos of the world. It’s a reminder that sometimes we need to be alone with our thoughts and feelings in order to truly connect with ourselves and others.
The “Pariah – The Hidden Persona” is an exhibition that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who experiences it. It’s a powerful reminder that we are all complex and multifaceted beings, with our own unique struggles and triumphs. But it also reminds us that there is beauty and strength in vulnerability, and that by embracing our hidden personas, we can become more fully human and more connected to the world around us.
