Joker
Artist statement:
"I am fascinated by feelings attached to facial expressions, and as I am deepdiving into capturing those expressions I found Joaquin Phoenix as "Joker" a perfect subject! The Joker to me is not at all about a cold-blooded killer clown, but the face of mental health where society fails on all levels.
This unfortunately is the reality for many struggling with mental health issues today as well, even though it has become more common to talk about these issues.
Awareness and knowledge is key. Don´t be so quick to judge, and think twice before giving someone a hard time - you never know what they´re battling invisibly!
Exhibited at "Galleriet" restaurant, the Thief Hotel at Art´n´soul, Via Showcase Vika Oslo and Radisson Red.
