Context
The figures in my work are frequently depicted as small, non-descript silhouettes. By removing personal characteristics, the social dynamic between figures becomes abstract and sometimes metaphorical. Within this exploration of human relationships, I like to play with narrative and scale to explore the interplay between feelings of isolation and connection, independence and interdependence, intimacy and anonymity and spatial versus interest-based community. Whether through love, sense of place, shared values or set of beliefs, I'm interested in the “glue” that pulls people out of individualism and into the whole.
In this series of three postcards called "La Métamorphose" two figures travel together in a boat whose form continually transforms. As the vessel shifts, so do its sails, symbolizing the evolving relationship between the figures. The changing boat becomes a metaphor for the ways relationships adapt over time - reshaped by trust, vulnerability, distance and connection.
