Curatorial Note:
Shattered Silence reflects the haunted gaze of a soul trying to emerge through layers of color and glass. Painted directly onto a mirror, this work subverts the idea of reflection—what we see is not ourselves, but the fractured presence of another. ArNoUx uses aggressive splashes of neon orange, yellow, and green over a mournful expression in shadowy blues, creating a portrait that is both confrontational and ghostlike. The work speaks of suppressed truths, broken identities, and emotional aftermath—hallmarks of the German Expressionist lineage reimagined through contemporary materials.
