A bold and provocative work by South African artist Kendell Geers, *Masking Tradition Dxiii* employs acrylic on canvas to explore themes of identity, cultural concealment, and the layered tensions between tradition and subversion. Geers' signature confrontational approach is evident in the work's dynamic interplay of form and surface, where masking becomes both a literal and metaphorical act. The piece challenges viewers to question what is hidden, what is revealed, and who controls the narrative of cultural meaning.
