DETOUR # 1
2025, 29 × 34 × 2 in, inkjet print, window frame
A false view framed by a window. What appears stable is, in fact, a simulated surface. Miniature cardboards were placed inside plastic packaging. Scanned, printed, wrapped, and rephotographed, it merges the aesthetics of both scanner and lens.
Inspired by New York construction sites, where windows are sealed with cardboard and blue tape. I couldn’t see what was inside, nor what was being preserved—or erased. This work reflects on the illusion of transparency and the fragility of temporary built structures. Through this dissonance, the work reimagines scale, function, and permanence.
DETOUR #2
2025, 45 × 57 in, inkjet print, recycled cardboard, blue tape
What appears stable is, in fact, structurally fragile. A blown-up illusion composed of industrial blue tape and miniature cardboard. Scanned, enlarged, and mounted onto recycled cardboard, the work blurs the line between miniature and image, image and object. The piece transforms the everyday into something unstable and uncertain.
Once blown up, the surface becomes a site where mark-making, semiotics, and assemblage converge. Fragile and impermanent, the tape gestures toward construction without completion. Through this dissonance, the work reimagines scale, function, and permanence.
