By Ahmad Zakii Anwar
Image of the charcoal
sketch (Human Figure sketch picture, n.d.)
This is an art work in perhaps
one of Zakii’s most prominent series’, the Being series, where he uses charcoal
to accurately sketch out his representations of human figures. In majority of
the artworks of this series, the faces are either blurred or completely turned
away, such as the one above. Zakii involves the audience in the constant search
for human identity by obscuring the figures’ faces, invoking a sense of
frustration when trying out to rationalise the actual identities (Negotiations
within the ‘Self’ and ‘Identity’, 2009).
