"Colour Coded" by Malak explores the idea of identity and how it's shaped by different influences. The portrait is divided into geometric sections, each coloured in shades of red, orange, and neutral tones. This division suggests how our identities can be split and shaped by outside expectations or personal thoughts. The use of bold colours against clean lines highlights the contrast between our natural emotions and the structured roles society often imposes. The subject's direct gaze ties these elements together, reflecting on the complex process of understanding who we are.
