The Act of Transcription

A selection of works from this period

These works by Motta juxtapose monochromatic and vividly colorful freeform strokes, all contained within a masked frame that symbolizes the daily constraints of neoliberal economic systems. Through the fusion of graffiti and abstract motifs, Motta explores the individual’s struggle for identity, agency, and expression within rigid systemic boundaries. The tension between freedom and limitation is made visible in each layered gesture, evoking both resistance and resignation.
