Model Divide
The image and the person keeping it up
The line between who you are and who you perform is thinner than it looks.
Model Divide sits directly on that line. One side is the image being maintained. The other is the person doing the work of maintaining it.

Corey Wesley
Harlem shaped his practice: the faces on the subway, in recovery rooms, and in the space between performance and collapse. He creates what remains when the face stops performing.
His proprietary mixed-media process combines writing, Photoshop, Illustrator, and modern technology, including AI-assisted tools. Over days or months, he refines symbolism, color, composition, facial structure, and emotional tone until each work carries his recognizable visual language.
The faces in these works are archetypes. They belong to everyone. And no one.
