Inner Windows

​

In this series of “Inner Windows”, I am exploring how Humanity is interconnected.

 

During these waves of political divisiveness, social media saturation, fake news and disharmony we may become oblivious to the fact that there is a deeper global commonality that unites our emotional landscape through our unified humanity.

 

In these extraordinary times we are passing through, perhaps we may take a pause from our frenetic lifestyles.

 

In our everyday lives we are often reliant on external stimuli to inform and influence our thoughts, feelings and actions.

 

In these images calm and vibrant colours aligned with the geometric shapes, translucent patterns, shadows and interconnections metaphorically represent how we are all connected, how we share similar fleeting qualities, emotions, thoughts and needs.

We have an outward personality we present to the world and an inner life that often remains private and hidden even to ones self.

 

“Inner Windows” utilises photographic filters that are assembled into 3D sculptures. Use of light creates interactions of colours, shapes, intersections, shadows and planes of colour that are then captured in a 2D format photographic image.  

 

Alluding to what this period of Social/Political history is perhaps exemplifying beyond all others. 

 

How in todays commercial, materialistic, technological world, we are not in fact walled-off individuals but rather autonomous masters of our own fate. 

Though we may be separated geographically through time and space, culture, language and political ideology, we are interconnected and inseparable from the web of life. 

Though external forces may aim to cause disharmony, there is more that binds and unites us, rather than separates or divides us.
