Distorted Visions - Artist Statement
“Who am I?”, A strangely potent and philosophical question we may all encounter and never solve. This video forms the introduction to my “Distorted Visions” series in which I explore the altered and fractured thoughts we may have of our mind, body and sense of self. Through a series of refracted photographs and moving images, I manipulate how the viewer sees the figure within the frame, trying to get their thoughts to move inwardly and allow them the time and space to question their own views of their identity, perception of self and how they see themselves in the world. In this era of self-branding and promotion we start to lose sight of who we truly are and become a distorted version of what we think society wants us to be and in turn what we want to portray, giving over to our ego.
