This series explores gender identity, human-animal relationships, and representations shaped by mass media. The photomontages combine photographic fragments with layers of charcoal, creating velvety blacks that alternately reveal and obscure the imagery. Drawing in part from my own photographs, but primarily from popular print magazines, the works bring mass-produced images into contact with handmade marks and gestures. Through fragmentation, layering, and erasure, they move between manipulation and destruction, beauty and distortion, dismantling glossy representations of sexuality and aesthetics to create something more surreal and psychologically charged.
