In this digital reimagining, Gomes utilizes the language of graphic design to interpret the classic self-portrait. The subject stands in formal attire, a silhouette defined by clean edges and a flat color palette that emphasizes the architectural quality of the composition. By framing the figure within a classic border, the artist bridges the gap between historical motifs and digital aesthetics, highlighting the professional roles and relationships that define our social interactions.

The central motif—an animated fruit character suspended before the face—serves as a gateway into the complexities of human identity. This visual barrier suggests hidden power dynamics and the cutthroat corporate competition that often requires individuals to hide their true selves behind a polished, impenetrable exterior. The piece functions as a study of what remains unseen, using rich symbolism to question the authenticity of the figures we present to the world.
