“Totem” is a work that represents a human face with cubist and constructivist influences. The piece combines geometric and abstract forms to create a unique and powerful image. The totem, in indigenous culture, is a symbol of identity and protection, and in this work, Charruart explores the idea of human identity through the fusion of artistic styles.
