I sought out this year to employ a juxtaposition of some kind, evoking an incongruence between two subjects and with it a jarring effect, hopefully inviting a certain intolerance for my work within the viewer. To do this I decided to portray a "perturbing celebration", clearly two contrasted semantic meanings displayed within intimate confines. The celebration used was matrimony and its conventional symbolism of joy and happiness. I injected this stereotype with disturbing and somber expressions and motifs such as faceless models and deep black geometric shapes, thereby constructing the desired theme, disturbia. When a viewer observes my works, I hope that their experience is obscured by the oddity of two, clearly biomorphic shapes, at a loss of identity and individuality. I intend for them to see the couple as lacking selves, each of their definitions replaced by empty space through the aesthetic property of hollow heads.
