Yareach Shaddai

I am a conceptual, self-taught artist working across photography, painting, writing, and music. My work explores fundamental questions of identity, existence, and trauma, while examining the social constructs that shape our understanding of taboo. I move between traditional mediums and digital tools, combining material, image, and sound to expose the fractures that form the human experience.

The portraits I create are not merely depictions of faces—they are remnants of lost gazes, silent testimonies to wounds without names. They reveal what lies beneath the mirror, what society prefers to hide: the broken, unfinished parts of the self. These faces carry scars, secrets, and emotional maps leading deep into the psyche, where individuality and proportion shift into something unfamiliar.

Many of the figures I paint are women, reflecting my personal attempt to process childhood traumas I witnessed at home.
