artist · 2026-03-19

Photographer Monika Chabicovsky presents her ongoing series 'The Two Sides of the Truth,' which examines the conflict between her professional identity as a toxicologist and her artistic practice. The project, initiated in 2020, uses self-portraiture with visual metaphors like masks to question fixed notions of identity, drawing on concepts from Carl Jung's theories. Chabicovsky aims to encourage viewers to reflect on their own internal tensions between reason and creativity, persona and authenticity.
