Portrait Shift
PORTRAIT SHIFT
A solo exhibition by Eric Duplan
Artist Statement
I use portraiture to question the idea of a fixed self.
Identity, for me, is not a moment but a movement—shaped by time, memory, and anticipation.
In Portrait Shift, past, present, and future exist simultaneously.
The face becomes unstable, fragmenting and reforming as time folds into a single frame.
Memory, amnesia, rage, loss, connection, love, hurt bliss….
These works are not representations, but thresholds—spaces where becoming matters more than being.
