Surveillance, Insecurities, Identity

Surveillance, Insecurities, Identity is built from digital scraps pulled from everyday life: camera feeds, device screenshots, personal photos, and fragments gathered from online spaces. These pieces are cut apart, stretched, distorted, and layered into dense compositions that mimic the pressure of being observed—both by technology and by the social lens placed on anyone seen as an outsider.

Faces appear in multiple angles, often split or repeated, creating a shifting sense of self that never settles into one version. Backgrounds collapse into each other, mixing public and private spaces in a way that mirrors the blurred boundaries created by constant monitoring. Body parts are rearranged, scale is inconsistent, and perspectives collide, making the viewer feel the same quiet tension embedded in the images.

The collages develop through an intuitive process of dragging, stacking, and rearranging elements until the image holds a specific emotional charge. Nothing is smoothed over; the seams, glitches, and abrupt transitions stay visible. These interruptions are part of the structure, reflecting how identity is shaped by conflicting signals—internal doubt, external judgment, and the constant awareness of being watched.

The series doesn’t aim for a final answer. Instead, it captures the ongoing negotiation between self-perception and the forces that distort it, presenting identity as something continually pieced together under pressure.
