Haven't done anything in ages. I tried to make a more creative use of the stocks to make a more surreal/conceptual artwork.

Concept explanation (for those who are interested in the intention behind the piece):
It's sort of meant to portray the rejection of individuality in order to conform and belong. In our structured society people are often pressured to adhere to certain stereotypes. The masks represent the labels which we brand ourselves with in order to belong. However these cannot truly define a person resulting in a lack of humanity in the scarecrow-like body. The camouflaged, vine tangled head symbolises individuality that is suppressed and gradually consumed by the desire to conform.
I hope that made sense :P. It can be interpreted any way, really...tell me yours in the comments!


Critiques or comment with any suggestions for improvement are appreciated as always ;)

Entered to the NCAP competition :)
Thank you in advance for any :+fav:s
