Torn is a body of work that emerged during the pandemic, capturing the profound sense of isolation—both mental and physical—that we collectively endured. The focal image of the human head, fragmented and disjointed, embodies the strained essence of existence that became so palpable during this time. These floating, disassembled forms mirror not only the alienation felt in isolation but also evoke the fractured human psyche, reflecting a universal experience of confusion and fragmentation.
Beyond the pandemic, Torn resonates with the broader trials of human existence: the disorienting effects of war, the spread of misinformation, and the societal breakdowns that these pressures amplify. Some pieces in this collection reference social media, with eyes that appear to burst open, endlessly observing one another—illustrating the surveillance and collective tension that have become pervasive in our digital and physical landscapes. These eyes are an extension of a vast organism, endlessly vigilant yet profoundly detached, further underscoring the vulnerability of a world increasingly divided and uncertain.
