He Asks You to Reflect!
The painting explores the theme of skepticism by portraying a man's internal conflict as he navigates the dichotomy between science & pseudoscience. Having chosen books from the science section, he now stands beside the pseudoscience shelf, staring directly at the viewer, as if asking whether he should consider taking a book from it. This moment embodies his struggle to discern fact from fiction. His piercing gaze must engage the audience, prompting reflection on their beliefs & importance of critical thinking. The artwork challenges viewers to weigh evidence-based knowledge against the allure of unsupported claims, in today’s rampant world of misinformation.
