ID: Lovers, Friends, & Enemies (Nick)

Sheyda Mehrara distills Gatsby’s central cast into abstracted line-drawn portraits featuring Nick, Gatsby, Wilson, Myrtle, Jordan, Daisy, and Tom. Each face, pared down yet expressive, carries a distinct mark of character: a gesture of color, a fragment of shape, an indication of desire or flaw. Tethered through a shared palette, the series reveals how identities bleed into one another, exposing the tangled web of love, betrayal, and ambition at the heart of the novel. At once playful and psychological, Sheyda’s portraits capture not just who these characters are, but the inner conflicts and contradictions that define them.
