Artist Statement
Tranquility Haze is a photo-series exploring the panoptic creep of technological surveillance into all aspects of sensuality and spirituality.
The series is a multi-chapter project. I photograph digital ad panels and cctv monitors in urban spaces and create photo-collages of repurposed envelopes from spam mailers that obtain my personal information from unknown sources. I compose a collection of images of loved ones, nature, broken screens, used showers, and sexting screenshots from hookup apps. The photographs represent instances of mass surveillance over the most intimate aspects of life in contemporary society, particularly in relationship to memory and the broadcasting of sexuality. I am interested in the ways we make ourselves vulnerable in our desire for intimacy; surrendering our privacy and allowing ourselves to be monitored by unseen forces as we search for connection with one another.
In my work, I explore the ways in which we can find moments of beauty and transcendence even in the midst of this surveillance state. I aim to create pieces that invite the viewer to contemplate the paradoxes of our modern world and to question the boundaries between the physical and the digital, the private and the public, the sacred and the profane.
