Thesis: How To Escape a Self

 

In my work, strange realities are created from existing ones. Melted down and formed from the sediment of the actual. I use absurdity as a point of departure to construct something new. In my graduation work, ruptured identity positions the self as something unfixed and not essential, as well as not entirely self-created. Haunted temporalities and fluid identities are delivered with naive aesthetics that hint at propaganda, lost childhood and occult queerness, revealing spaces of agency and imagination within entangled realities
