The Faceless (✂ December 2023 | Slide 2) is probably the blueprint for my collage practice so far. I made it three years ago, back when I first started digging deeper into collage art. I made it alone at the Secarik Kliping workshop, armed with nothing but my gut feeling, no fear of getting things wrong, zero knowledge of theory, a pack of cigarettes, a glass of black coffee, and my go-to playlist. And somehow, The Faceless came out of it. Because of my own stupidity and carelessness when it came to archiving my work back then, The Faceless got damaged. That became a lesson for me: this art is built from fragile materials, like old magazines, newspapers, and all that stuff. So naturally, taking care of the work takes just as much patience and attention. I’m actually glad I went through that. Since then, I’ve become much more careful with every collage I make, from archiving and storing them to framing them for exhibitions and sales. ✂ Updated September 2026 The work diligently crafted using a combination of acrylic paint, oil pastel, HVS paper, and magazine cutouts by Metalhead Melankolis. Framed in A4 size.
