In Evaluation Structures, a single figure appears multiple times, encircling a box—each iteration representing a different facet of self-perception. This repetition emphasizes the ways in which people evaluate themselves, cycling through different versions of who they are, who they were, and who they aspire to be. The box at the center serves as a symbolic boundary, representing how these internal assessments can both define and limit us.
Rather than external judgment, this piece focuses on the weight of self-expectation. The figures stand in varying postures, some scrutinizing, others observing with detachment, illustrating the fluidity of self-perception. Past regrets, present awareness, and future aspirations converge in this space, highlighting how our thoughts shape our sense of self.
The composition prompts the viewer to consider their own internal narratives: How often do we become trapped in cycles of self-assessment? Do we offer ourselves the same grace we extend to others, or do we hold ourselves captive within rigid expectations? Evaluation Structures challenges the viewer to examine whether their self-evaluations lead to personal insight or unnecessary constraints.
