How much of yourself can you see in the mirror?
I have created my own ecosystem and I am inviting you in. Absurdities await. A metamorphosis of humanity entwined with beings that repulse and intrigue us. Reality and imagination dance together.
My work aims to invoke a sense of discomfort and shame that occurs when you are forced to face your reflection in a mirror against your will. Distortions and alterations disturb the image, scattering thoughts and reflections. This installation is a living, evolving and adapting space, allowing you to enter and forcing you to be an active participant. You’ll find me in my work as readily as you’ll find yourself.
Consider it not self-obsession, but an obsession with the idea of self.
