I’m fixated on distorted imagery because it reflects the absurdity of reality. Defining truth, from one individual’s belief to the next, can be nearly impossible, and the instability of the image represents the variable nature of perception. It also reflects the fragility of our physical and mental states. We are constantly manipulated and transformed by the world around us, and I’m interested in this elastic experience and the effort by which we try to control or embrace it.
