https://www.ivancasis.com/Total Confusion (2024) is an expression of the tumultuous emotions experienced during a separation. It captures the profound sense of loss that comes from parting with a long-term partner, leaving one’s country of origin, and grieving the fragmentation of the family unit. The piece is a visual exploration of the inner turmoil, disorientation, and overwhelming confusion that accompany such deeply personal transitions.
