Girl Plate (1990) "Do we perceive ourselves as a coherent whole or body as just a collection of fragmented sensible impressions in relation to impulses or affects? Are we not more than just a incongruent physical machine that lives by the illusion of identity?"

Girl Plate poses these questions by using the complementary of colors to declare both these options (fragmentation and wholeness) as valid. It might not be that one prevails the other but somehow they coexist in their paradoxical pairing. In the left part one can see him or she reflected between the parts, in the right part as projected in a field of homogeneity (identity). The work does not take sides between either of these options; it shows their strange double-bonded ambiguous relation.
