Running Scared

Running Scared 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 discomfort and fear. The notion of control and power are reminded by mankind's desire to control beasts of burden through sheer force. Exercising the dominance or lack thereof is questioned by the cats unhinged energy and agonizing gaze. These trophies serve as metaphors of a desires and larger failures in markers of proclaimed conquest. 

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 mirage makes sharp turns to emotionally probe both the viewer with surreal moments that raise questions around our notions of certainty and visual faith.
