The Plastic SurgeonA portrait of unequal power disguised as collaboration. The forward‑facing figure is the surgeon — composed, dominant, the one who ultimately decides what will b e changed. The profile face is the client — believing she holds authority, yet relinquishing all control the moment she submits to the process.They share one eye because the surgeon’s vision overrides her own. What she hopes for is filtered through what he chooses to create. The vertical line cuts the composition like a boundary between dominance and vulnerability. The curved geometry wraps around them, echoing the reshaping of identity.This piece exposes a quiet truth: in the space where transformation happens, the person who appears powerful is not the one in control.
