The works I submitted are just a couple of things I’ve made throughout this insane year. Some projects were in the making, but COVID-19 cut my last semester at UNCG short, though it couldn’t stop me from creating imagery. Technology has been a useful tool to finetune and extend art to the digital/virtual space, for me. I’m experimenting with new ways to create, expanding beyond just photography, to computer-generated renderings. I want my work to feel like strange infinite instances, activating a visual sense of motion. When I look light, I think about what I can and can’t see, and how our own eyes limit the information we perceive, constantly informing our reality.
