A HAND TO YOUR DARKNESS

(2023-24, digital c-print, 40" x 23") After experimenting with screen-recorded performances in Photoshop during the pandemic, I developed this series of talismanic images. I make simple arrangements of found photographs and objects to create new associations. This process and the evidence that remains is meant to counter personal, political, and environmental anxiety by fostering a sense of tranquility, connection, and humor. Within each still image, vestiges of movement linger, encapsulating the ritual acts and intent that underlie these performances in the digital realm.
