*This statement is not related to all pictures* This body of work is not only about personal experiences and interactions of other people and myself, but about a reflection of the past, and a cathartic process. The viewer is put into a voyeuristic position by looking into my memories and private moments. This creates a tension between the audience and the photographs. Initially my thought process in my photographs was that the camera would become a part of me and indiscriminately record every detail of the emotional aspects in my life. In reality, a camera is not able to do this. It can only capture moments in time, which in turn offers the audience glimpses of my life. These glimpses depend on both the technical aspect such as the angle of view, film, depth of field, which are all decisions of the photographer. I am trying to show that photographs aren’t simply traces of time or even an objective imitation or copy of something; they are objects that are produced from a particular view point whether it is ethical, judgmental, or even spatial. My work develops a relationship between the author and the viewer. I control everything they see and I’m allowing them to enter my world, which references the whole notion of the audience being able to perceive my subjective view. Carrie May Weems is an important influence in my work. My DuaL/DueL series is based on her mirror mirror image. On the connotative level, it suggests the work is dealing with self esteem issues.It also denotes different personalities one may be conflicted with or a self reflection of ones identities. I also want the viewer to recognize that this work is a confessional piece just like Tracey Emin’s art. It symbolizes the confusion between life and art. It also exemplifies and expresses the accumulation of a self destructive personality in my own life. I want to show the audience that although medication and psychiatrists help, at the end of the day you face yourself alone; this includes anxiety, distorted thoughts and inappropriate urges to self destruct. The phrases posit an opposition between the pronouns “You” and “I”, which are intended to act in the same way as Barbara Kruger’s layered images. This allows the viewer to relate to the quotes, be confronted with an attack of words, or even just ignore the work itself. Either way, the viewer is forced to respond to this piece.
