Patience is a virtue...
Most Likely to Come Apart is an ongoing self portrait series about identity 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 the how we incorporate change from within and without.
My aim is not to depict a fractured identity, but to illuminate our intricate and often contradictory selves. When we overcome the need to “fix” ourselves, and instead allow our identities to organically and perpetually change with the full weight of our experiences and emotions, we unblock the path towards inner alignment and liberation. We can continually shed the versions of ourselves we no longer are (or perhaps never were) and embrace perpetual metamorphosis as an inherent aspect of our shared human experience.
