Like Me How I Am (Flute Players and Social Media Figure) Acrylic Contemporary Painting

A monumental silhouette, built from dense ornamental fragments and punctuated by floating social-media glyphs, reads like a contemporary deity stitched together from the debris of communication and consumption. Against a saffron-orange field scored with faint horizontal lines, repetition becomes ritual: the small flute-playing figures on the left echo as a mantra while the large form absorbs their music into a body-map of symbols, textures, and coded signs. The lunar cycle banding the bottom edge anchors this digital myth in older measures of time, suggesting that what feels new—our “likes,” signals, and constant broadcast—still moves to ancient rhythms of longing, devotion, and spectacle. The work ultimately stages a quiet tension between intimacy and performance, where identity is both composed and possessed by the networks it inhabits.
