Moments Series (2021)

“Moments” presented on lightboxes feature past events extracted from the artist’s personal iCloud. They flow through the lit container and struggle to maintain their permanence or visual resolution. The series explores how current influences of emerging technologies re-inform and reshape the ways in which we perceive ourselves, construct our memories, and understand the realities.
