"Fake immodesty"

Fake Immodesty presents a large neon monochromatic background that functions as both environment and conceptual field.

Against this saturated artificial light, two realistically painted female hands hold a small pink designer-style bag. The hands are executed in classical figurative technique, including delicate blue nail detail, creating a contrast between painterly realism and graphic color abstraction.

The work reflects contemporary social narratives surrounding identity and material symbolism. The handbag is not positioned as a central life value but as a secondary visual sign, highlighting the difference between cultural performance and personal meaning.

The neon surface removes the object from everyday reality, transforming the composition into a commentary on constructed desire, social appearance, and the tension between authenticity and visual modesty.
