In Synonyms - Kaitlin I, Sernet pares down the human form to just two abstract, gently curving shapes that suggest a figure without fully delineating it. These silhouettes float within a sea of black, allowing the viewer to discern only hints of posture and presence. The simplicity invites us to consider the essence of the human form, as if Sernet has distilled the figure to its most fundamental elements. The effect is both mysterious and intimate, capturing a moment without fully revealing it.

The soft, organic contours bring a sense of calm and introspection, much like gazing at clouds and finding familiar shapes within them. Each viewer might interpret the forms differently—a face in profile, a body in repose—projecting personal experiences onto the ambiguous shapes. This interplay between viewer and image reinforces Sernet’s goal: to strip away individual identifiers and invite reflection on shared humanity, blurring the lines between self and other.

With Synonyms - Kaitlin I, Sernet creates a mirror through minimalism, asking us to find ourselves in the emptiness and simplicity of the form. This piece embodies his belief in the unifying potential of art, showing that even in abstraction, a single silhouette can convey universal emotions and experiences. The viewer’s own associations fill the gaps, bridging personal perception with collective identity.
