Conceived on the occasion of the

A large-scale chromogenic print by Cindy Sherman, this work continues the artist's lifelong exploration of identity, performance, and the constructed nature of the self through staged photography. Sherman assumes the role of both photographer and subject, employing costume, makeup, and theatrical lighting to inhabit an ambiguous yet psychologically charged persona. The rich color of the chromogenic process lends the image a cinematic depth, reinforcing the tension between artifice and authenticity that defines Sherman's celebrated practice.
