Face to Face

I seated two figures on stone, turned fully toward each other, close enough that a single lean would let them touch. But each face is gone, replaced by a lit phone, and that screen has become the whole of who they are. So instead of speaking, they text, sending small messages back and forth across a few inches of air. The screen even reflects the other, so each one speaks not to a person but to an image. Byung-Chul Han writes that in a world of constant connection the other quietly disappears, smoothed into something easier and emptier than a real face. That is the ache I wanted here. We can sit knee to knee, share the same light and the same silence, and still spend the whole evening alone, answering a glow that only gives us back ourselves. Part of the series Do You Remember Yourself? by Mehdi Rooz. Also available as a complete three piece set.

Premium archival smooth matte fine art paper with a bright white surface, crisp detail, and refined color reproduction. Each print is framed in matte black with white matting and acrylic glass for a clean gallery presentation.

Each work begins as an original digital composition and is produced as a physical fine-art print using professional archival materials. This is not a hand-painted original; it is a gallery-quality printed edition created from the artist’s digital artwork.

Each work is printed and prepared after checkout. Shipping is included for addresses in the contiguous United States unless otherwise noted.

Works are produced through a professional fine-art print workflow using archival materials and gallery-quality output. Production begins after the order is confirmed.

Because each piece is produced for the collector, returns are reviewed case by case. If an item arrives damaged, contact the gallery with photos so the issue can be resolved.
