Savannah Lamal

Lamal works across painting, photography, sculpture, installation, architecture, and sound. Her practice engages the material and perceptual conditions of experience, treating form, space, and process as sites for inquiry. Through open-ended experimentation, she examines how systems of making and seeing construct meaning within contemporary and historical contexts.

MASKED PORTRAITS

This series of portraits explores the tension between concealment and revelation through the motif of the mask. Rendered in black oil stick on paper, each image captures a subject in a moment of transformation, where identity becomes fluid, obscured, or reimagined.

Some masks are worn, others painted directly onto the skin, blurring the line between surface and self. The stark contrast of the oil stick emphasizes both presence and absence, gesture and void. What emerges is a study of the psychological space between who we are and who we appear to be, an invitation to consider the masks we all wear, willingly or otherwise.
