This series explores gender identity, human-animal relationships, and representations shaped by mass media. The photomontages incorporate layers of charcoal to create velvety blacks that both highlight and partially obscure the imagery. Blending advertisements with handmade marks, the work moves between manipulation and destruction, beauty and distortion. The pieces recontextualize photographic fragments partially drawn from my own photographs, but primarily sourced from popular print magazines. Through fragmentation, layering, and erasure, the series deconstructs the glossy portrayals of sexuality and aesthetics found in mass media, offering a more surreal and psychologically charged alternative.
