UNSTABLE OBJECTS

Redux Beach Girl was fabricated with the ideas of inherited gesture, fantasy and archetypes of Commedia dell'arte performers as if restored and refashioned for the internets permanent ‘always’ time.
In commedia, each character embodies a mood like mockery, sadness, gaiety, confusion, and so forth. This 3D sculpture is perhaps the 21st Century archetype of; unspecified anxiety. 
The figure of Redux Beach Girl is fashioned with a realistic-cartoon like face with a more stylized and unreal, clothed body.  The figure's stance is caught in a dancer like movement which at once looks stiff and kinetic. She seems ready to prance across the room whilst her head is looking upwards at something terrifying just out of site of the viewer.

The Cursed AF series is a collection of silent, looping video works that were exhibited at the
2022 two-person exhibition at the Human Resources Gallery in Los Angeles, displayed on tablets and various iPhones. These video collage pieces utilize elements gathered from across the internet to address the concept of "cursed" content, a type of online content that is considered disturbing, unsettling, or even terrifying.
The history of "cursed" content can be traced back to the early days of the internet when
horror-themed websites and forums began to emerge. One of the earliest examples of cursed content is the infamous "Jeff the Killer" creepypasta, which gained a large following and inspired numerous fan works, including memes and videos. As the popularity of horror-themed content grew on the internet, the term "cursed" was applied to particularly unsettling content, such as distorted images, creepy animations, and bizarre videos.
In recent years, "cursed" content has become a popular subculture on social media, with users
sharing and creating their own content. While some find this type of content amusing or
intriguing, others argue that it can be harmful and trigger anxiety or trauma.
Through the Cursed AF series, I explore the complex and evolving phenomenon of "cursed" content online, reflecting the internet's unique ability to facilitate the creation and dissemination of disturbing and unsettling material. My work challenges viewers to confront their reactions to such content and consider the implications of its circulation in our digital age

These digital collages explore the overwhelming nature of our constantly connected society. Our lives
are consumed by a never-ending flow of information, with our circuits overstimulated by the continuous
flow of messages telling us what to buy, how to behave, and what our life should look like. From the
moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed, we are bombarded with an endless stream of notifications, reminders, and updates. While highlighting the alienation that comes with living in a world where we are always online, but never truly present, each image is a reflection of the never-ending fatigue we feel as we try to navigate this digital landscape, where our attention is forever pulled in a million different directions.

The GIFs series are pointing at the "rat race" mentality that so many of us find ourselves trapped in. We are constantly striving to prove ourselves to others, sacrificing our own needs and desires in order to conform to societal expectations. In the process, we sweep the harsh reality of our lives under the
virtual rug, hiding behind a facade of perfection and success. They expose the futility of this endless pursuit, highlighting the way in which our time can pass us by without notice. There is no clear beginning or ending to this race, no finish line to cross. Instead, we find ourselves caught in a never-ending cycle of striving, always pushing for more, without ever taking the time to reflect on what truly matters.

Cognitive Distortions are automatic thought patterns that cause individuals to perceive reality inaccurately and negatively. They are involved in a negative circle, where depression and anxiety reinforce these negative and inaccurate views on things, which in turn further aggravates our mental state. This phenomenon is explored through the lens of our image culture, how it is translated online, how pictures circulate through the web, through social media and how algorithms and screen time further damage our mental health, isolating us while paradoxically exposing us to new ideas and knowledge.
Aiming to create new imagery, online found photography is gathered and processed by altering and collaging it into 3D space. With a process somewhat analogous to text-to-image machine learning models, distorted avatars (which are direct projections of ourselves online) and surreal visions revolving around mental health issues are produced. These vivid productions often feel like distorted popular culture icons, they tap into the absurd, the oneiric and the nightmarish. These processed fragments are then sent back to the internet via social media.

Hairy Melty and its sister work Face Like a Cave were created around the ideas of an inner secret life and external pretend and how both these states decimate and transfigures the other. Both works in the series are portraits in both aspect ratio and classical figurative construction, with a saturated color palette  and a twinkling wink of surreality and humor.The subjects for the two works are taken from photographic self portraits of the artist herself, which she reimagined into satisfying bouncy shapes that jiggle, push, shiver, squeeze and fall. Each face in each work is like an imagined brutalist building falling apart in a doom loop.There are floating icicle- glass like objects slowly moving in and around the humanoid subjects, tantalizing and dangerous. The series investigate the ideas of the socialized self, the private self and the paradise-perfect online self. Each work seeks to understand internal shame, infinite circularism and digital entanglement.
