Genesis is from the on going body of work, The Baby Tooth Isn't Loose , that delves into an estranged exploration of the fault lines in human nature. This piece deals with human presence and a metaphorical footprint on the earth and our paths of intersection. Without a human literally in the frame, the power lies in the circle as a reference to the planet without any lives on it, barren, and as a religious reminder of biblical beginnings which can be empowering or damning. This work offers a harsh course of criticism and hope because we are able to reflect on the paths we have taken.
Project Statement
Today’s reality is guided by competition alongside the fierce longing to ascend into what many call paradise. What lies in this pursuit are strangely manufactured channels of both sincerity and unsettling moments that make us question our ultimate wishes. These uncomfortable forms of excess, desire, and hope to live forever, tie us together but also create further separation than ever before in this consummate dance to the finish line.
The Baby Tooth Isn't Loose delves into an estranged exploration of the fault lines in human nature where uncanny disruptions defamiliarize our experiences with the ordinary. This translation makes sharp turns to emotionally probe both the viewer with surreal moments that raise questions around our notions of certainty and visual faith.
