Curatorial Text:
In TOP SECRET – The Confession, ArNoUx transforms a discarded popcorn box into a portal of emotional revelation. Stark black lines carve out a haunting visage layered over vertical streaks of wooden tones—evoking bars, perhaps of a prison or a soul in captivity. The title, painted boldly across the face, invites viewers to question what truths remain buried beneath the surface. Utilizing the raw spontaneity of German Expressionism, the artist forces everyday packaging into dialogue with themes of secrecy, identity, and psychological unrest.
