Mark Manders' Silent Studio Offers a Poetic Exploration of Time and Identity | stupidDOPE
Briefly

Manders' conceptual framework reimagines the traditional self-portrait as an evolving metaphorical structure, transforming the self into a dynamic narrative reflecting the passage of time.
The sculptures, made from materials like bronze and steel, embody a sense of unfinished transformation, existing in a fleeting moment caught between creation and dissolution.
Silent Studio blurs boundaries between the unchanging past and unfolding present, with artworks that echo the fluid nature of memory and identity.
Through an intricate weaving of language, sculpture, and fiction, Manders invites viewers to engage with art as a living story, revealing complexities of identity.
