Artwork location: France
This artwork stands as a striking juxtaposition of urban mundanity and profound introspection. It is divided into two distinct sections, each presenting a contrasting visual narrative that beckons contemplation. The upper portion captures a scene brimming with everyday elements. Dominating this section is a vibrant yellow portable restroom, conspicuously placed on a meticulously maintained patch of grass. The stark color of the restroom draws the eye immediately, its boldness contrasting sharply with the surrounding natural greenery and the subdued monotones of an adjacent building. This building, a typical urban structure with a geometric façade, further emphasizes the banality of modern architecture. The positioning of the van behind the restroom, partially obscured by foliage, hints at interrupted action or a fleeting moment frozen in time. The scene is eerily quiet, the emptiness of the space suggesting a pause in the relentless pace of urban life. In stark contrast, the lower section of the artwork plunges the viewer into a more introspective and abstract realm. Dominated by shades of gray, it features a close-up image that appears almost surreal. The ambiguous subject matter presents what seems to be an intimate moment captured in an ethereal, dream-like state. The interplay of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and mystery, encouraging viewers to derive their interpretations. What makes this artwork truly compelling is the tension it creates between the ordinary and the profound. The jarring dichotomy between the vivid, tangible world above and the obscure, introspective world below provokes thought on the nature of reality and perception. The sharp clarity of the upper image starkly contrasts with the almost otherworldly murkiness of the lower section, each reinforcing the narrative complexity of the other. Overall, this piece is a masterful exploration of contrast and context, weaving together elements of the everyday with the enigmatic. It challenges the viewer to find coherence between the evident and the concealed, making it an extraordinary study in the multifaceted nature of experience and observation.

Artist Statement
My work is centered on connections, be it between imagery, text, found and mass-produced objects I seek to create narrative contingencies by linking information. This information is largely taken from and influenced by social media posts, cell phone photography, online advertising, to name a few. From the sourced information look for connections between the objects and information seeking out what is real and a facsimile. This may include a cctv camera streaming an image of a fake houseplant on a mass-produced shelf that hold both an original print and a object that utilized the documentation of that print. I seek then to create a dialogue with the viewer about the value of objects and their hierarchy when placed together and in conjunction with the seemingly ephemeral nature of social media linguistics.
I am interested how we interact with, interpret and process fragments of personal narratives of people we have loose associations with yet have found ourselves a voyeur in the personal moments of their life. While this could be considered ephemeral imagery because it only is in our feeds temporarily these digital images have a permanence and history that exists beyond the few seconds we view them on our computers or phones. By utilizing this information for object creation the ephemeral take on a static permanence altering how the information is consumed and allows the viewer to engage in new dialogues with the work.
