My work explores how contemporary media shapes our perception of the world outside ourselves, particularly how mediated images amplify fear and anxiety around the “other.” In Night Creatures, I draw from imagery captured by porch and security cameras—animals moving through domestic thresholds at night—as a way to examine surveillance, distance, and the collapse between private and public space. These images are combined with art historical references, especially the dense iconography of Flemish painting, to situate contemporary fears within a longer visual history.
