Protocol: Blue

Protocol: Blue is a portrait of control perfected through silence. The figure stands composed and unreadable, face partially erased by motion and blur, eyes concealed behind dark lenses. One hand grips a radio—an instrument of command, surveillance, and distance—while the other remains unseen, withheld.

The dominant blue field saturates the scene with calm authority, discipline, and emotional suppression. Against it, sharp intrusions of red—on the glove, the lips, the small fracture on the face—signal resistance, violence, or humanity trying to break through procedure. The blurred white streak cutting across the face suggests enforced neutrality: speech interrupted, identity overridden.

This is not chaos.

This is order.

Protocol: Blue explores the psychology of institutional power—the way individuals become interfaces, how emotion is stripped down to function, and how obedience wears the mask of calm professionalism.
