I seek common ground between flatness and depth, abstraction and figuration. Using color, symmetry and its visual allegories explore the juxtaposition of control and chaos, distance and intimacy, emotionlessness and melancholy. By capturing a three-dimensional reality on two-dimensional paper compresses sensory and emotional experience, creating a connection to the viewer’s psyche. My work examines the idea of community and its intersection with society, interrogating the limits of contemporary definitions of human intimacy and the importance of solitary. By redefining the definition of “you,” “me” and “it” and emphasizing their fluidity, I demonstrate control over internal states and maintain a relative distance from the external world. It is a kind of visual conveyance to psychological feeling that is direct, concrete, and tangible.
