Most Likely to Come Apart

Most Likely to Come Apart is an ongoing self portrait series about identity, coming of age, and the complexity of self-connection over time.

In this series, I use various in-camera illusory techniques to create self portraits with visual paradoxes from bodily fragments. This simultaneous act of deconstruction and reconstruction mirrors the often awkward and fraught nature of the growth process and tests the boundaries between how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves. It speaks to a struggle for control over our identities and how we incorporate change from within and without.

My work seeks to illuminate our complex, contradictory nature—not to depict fractured identity, but to celebrate its multiplicity. True alignment emerges when we release the impulse to ‘fix’ ourselves and instead allow our identities to evolve organically with our experiences and emotions. I'm drawn to this space of transformation, where we perpetually shed former selves and embrace metamorphosis as an essential aspect of our shared humanity.
