I frequently deal with an observational contradiction as an artist: The conflict between subjective feeling and objective documentation. By alternating between intimacy and desire, this contradiction functions as a narrative device that enables artists to observe and understand the environment. Within these works, I question our engagement as human beings with our social structure and surrounding environment, I explore people-to-people relationships and how associated behavior changes into a form of mechanical output as a consequence of perceptual observation. As we navigate the complexity of modern life, a series of questions arise within our experiences. Those experiences have an unspoken voice as an unstable truth?
