No. 1 – Original Framed Contemporary Collage by Erin McGrath Rieke
About This Artwork
No. 1 explores identity as something assembled, interrupted, and continually revised. Fragmented faces, mechanical forms, architectural lines, and vivid flashes of blue and red create a figure suspended between the human and the constructed.
The composition holds several selves at once: visible and concealed, controlled and instinctive, familiar and strange. Its divided features suggest that identity is never entirely fixed, but shaped through memory, perception, and experience.
