VANITY - installation of large scale paintings and photographs.
How are the landscapes that we paint in our mind constructed? Are they controlled? Premeditated? Or are they built out of chance?
Vanity takes as its entry point this central question. This question, though, about control, submission and choice, is borne out of an interest in provocation and exploring societal norms. Concerns of beauty, confidence and success, distrust towards media’s portrayal of the “American dream” and personal experiences form the bases for much of the work.
