The installation The Figure shows a series of photos from author’s daily iPhone camera collection, in which different figures cover their faces with hands or items, due to the reason that they don't want to be recorded. More or less, these hiding gestures reveal the pressure that the camera projects on these protagonists, such actions show not only the refusal towards cameras, but also the distrust of the further usages of the digital images, including being spread to unknown users through communication softwares or being uploaded to social media.
