Exploring the tension between the private self and the public image.
Travel
Travel creates the possibility of becoming someone else.
Unfamiliar places, monuments, people, and experiences loosen identity from habit, allowing the self to be imagined—and performed—differently.
Desire
Desire creates images of the person we might become.
Beauty, bodies, objects, fashion, and fantasy become entangled with aspiration, performance, and the distance between who we are and who we want to be.
Identity
Identity is not a fixed image but something continually constructed and revised.
Through repetition, color, pose, and shifting representations of the figure, these works explore how the self changes as it becomes visible to others.
