NEW PEOPLE approaches identity as an ever-shifting constellation of origins, cultures, and personal histories. The portrait becomes a space in which these different registers coexist,
overlap, and enter into dialogue.

Part of the artistic research LIGHT PENETRATES DARKNESS, the works operate between two states of visibility.
In natural light, colour constructs the surface of the portrait; under ultraviolet light, fluorescent pigments reveal
another image, latent within the work.

What appears stable becomes mutable. What remains unseen gains presence. Light becomes both material and concept — a means of exploring the inner dimension of the individual
beyond cultural difference and visible identity.

NEW PEOPLE asks what we see in another — and what exists beyond our gaze.

Nicole Jutka
