AFFECTED SCIENCE
2022
"AFFECTED SCIENCE"
Proposal Description for "Affected Science" Art Series
"Affected Science" is an art series dedicated to exploring the raw and unfiltered spectrum of human emotions. In an era where social media enables us to fabricate our lives and shield our truths, this series seeks to break through the veneer of perfection that often defines our online personas. By focusing on the study of emotions—termed here as "Affected Science"—the series delves into the authentic, unguarded moments that define our true selves. The primary objective of "Affected Science" is to invite viewers to witness individuals in their most vulnerable states. Through this exploration, the series aims to encourage a deeper understanding and acceptance of our own emotional experiences. By seeing others stripped of their masks, viewers are encouraged to reflect on their own lives and consider the value of vulnerability and authenticity.

on ice
Proposal Description for "Affected Science" Art Series
"on ice" delves into the interplay between identity, perception, and texture within frozen environments. By capturing portraits behind a frosted plastic, I aim to evoke a multi-layered sensory experience that transcends the visual realm. The texture of the frost becomes a metaphor for the complexities of identity, offering a tangible representation of the barriers and distortions that can obscure one's true essence. The phrase "on ice," commonly used to describe keeping something on hold, at times in efforts to preserve, adds another layer of meaning to the series. It symbolizes the ways in which society attempts to limit our being or keep us constrained, yet despite these efforts, we rise above, breaking free from the constraints and reclaiming our agency. Through this series, I invite viewers to contemplate the nuances of representation and visibility, challenging preconceived notions and embracing the beauty found within the interstice of perception and reality. Each portrait serves as a testament to resilience and individuality, highlighting the strength and dignity inherent in the human spirit, even in the face of societal constraints. "on ice" seeks to ignite conversations about identity, representation, and the transformative power of art to transcend barriers and foster connection.

Behind The Glass
2024
In this series, I explore the tension between revelation and concealment, intimacy and distance. Using the interplay of light, shadow, and the soft distortion of opaque glass, these images invite viewers to confront their perception of vulnerability and beauty. The nude form, often a subject of exposure, is instead cloaked in ambiguity, challenging the gaze to find meaning beyond what is immediately visible.The opacity of the glass represents a boundary. This series is not about the explicit. It is an ode to the unspoken, a meditation on privacy, and an invitation to see the human form as universal.
