Oysters of Illusion
In Icon Zar’s work, oysters become more than a delicacy—they are a critique. Once symbols of refined taste and status, they now serve as metaphors for a world obsessed with surface. Behind the sheen of sophistication lies a commentary on the fragile architecture of modern reputation, especially in the age of social media.
Through her signature lens of sarcasm and symbolism, Zar reveals oysters as carriers of whispered gossip, polished lies, and curated façades. What appears luxurious may, in truth, be toxic—beautiful shells concealing destructive narratives. In a society that consumes identity as quickly as it cancels it, these oysters are not to be savoured but questioned.
