Artist Statement
Tranquility Haze is a photo-series documenting the panoptic creep of technological surveillance into all aspects of sensuality and spirituality. In my journey between New England and Rio de Janeiro, I captured digital ad panels and cctv monitors I found on the way. In fleeting moments that remind us of the monitoring presence of technology and nature into our most intimate lives.
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 these prowling powers over contemporary society in a personal way. Particularly in relationship with remembrance , sexual dissipation, and mass surveillance.
Our bodies and our souls are constantly being watched and monitored by unseen forces, and yet we allow vulnerability while craving intimacy and 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.
