Where does true authenticity lie? Reality and perception are inherently subjective, and much of what we experience as "reality" is often fiction shaped by our thoughts. Recognizing this allows us to transcend rigid ideologies and perceptions, freeing ourselves from the confines of the "self" and dissolving the binary of subject and object. My work explores the disruption of reality and perception, deconstructing fundamental concepts like time, space, and self.
As beings within reality, we may never fully grasp it, yet humans have a natural drive to transcend and explore the unknown. This pursuit of the unattainable is central to our humanity. In my work, I seek to uncover truth amidst chaos and ambiguity, searching for authenticity hidden beneath the surface.
Once perception is disrupted and reality exposed, we must reconstruct our understanding of both the inner and outer worlds. Through various mediums, I aim for my work to inspire viewers to embark on their own journeys of exploration and discovery, building new perspectives on reality. My projects, "clock" and "someone," reflect this ongoing investigation and earned me a distinction at the Glasgow School of Art.
