My projects consist of multi processed layers exploring self-perception and social influence, with relation to adolescence and growing up. In this psychology-meets-art narrative, I integrate elements of digital photography, animation and illustration to piece together distinct vignettes.
In a psychotic dialogue, my work examines the social structure and primal experiences that determine or influence our sense of self. These may be strung together from our memories of infancy, recollections of adolescence and our current state of being, and the acting force of our surroundings and cultural norms that shape our perception. The presentation of such work is conveyed in a way that evoke an unsettling sense and disquieting manner that juxtaposes the idea of innocence, the work of child’s play and the expected role of a functioning “adult” in our society.
Viewers are encouraged to engage in the work as they explore their own thoughts of growing up, “adulthood”, and the relationship between the progression of time and their own personal development.
