Moralism Disguises Forbidden Desire – Exploring the Depths of the Unconscious in Fine Art
In “Moralism Disguises Forbidden Desire,” Felipe Hueb invites us to peer into the shadows of human psychology, capturing the tension between our hidden impulses and society’s demands. Inspired by the insights of Carl Jung and Gustave Le Bon, this surrealist piece explores how repressed desires, cloaked by moral conformity, simmer beneath the surface. The veil represents the societal mask, while the red attire beneath symbolizes the raw, primal instincts we often hide. This work challenges viewers to question how much of our behavior is truly authentic and how much is a response to collective norms.
