Blue Blood

"The suit was their language. The helmet was mine."
- Nat Berhe

A figure dressed in a sharp black suit and white shirt holds a cigarette to their lips with gloved hands, their head encased in a bold cobalt blue motorcycle helmet with a red-slit visor. Behind them, a red vertical bar bisects an otherwise neutral ground. The pose is utterly composed, a man of power and anonymity, identity concealed and therefore amplified. This 36" x 36" work explores the performance of authority, the costume of status, and the freedom found in chosen invisibility.
