Artist: Vegesent
Materials: Discarded bags and plexiglass, acrylic paints
Dimensions: 60 x 40 cm 24 x 16 in
Art description: Unwrapping is a conceptual work created from transparent, discarded materials. Materials translucency removes it from immediate visibility, echoing how minority identities are often perceived within broader society—present, yet rendered intentionally or structurally invisible.
The work takes the visual language of packaging and unwrapping as its central metaphor. It reflects the moment of encounter, when perception shifts and something previously overlooked becomes revealed. In this sense, Unwrapping is not only about concealment, but also about the act of recognition: the unfolding of attention toward another human being within systems that frequently reduce or obscure difference.
