ARTIST STATEMENT –  FRAGMENTS

FRAGMENTS exists in the quiet aftermath of performance.
After the noise and spectacle of Welcome To The 20s, The Character is left alone with what remains: discarded images, predictions, unrecognizable versions of himself.

He begins again, without direction or light — photographing himself through no process, collecting remnants of forgotten shoots and begins to reconstruct what had fallen apart. In this space, there is no applause, no audience. 

The work becomes a process of excavation. Each image a piece of a former self unearthed, examined, and left unresolved. Together, they form a diary of transition.

Here, identity drifts between memory and invention.
The Character becomes both archivist and subject, trapped between what was performed and what is real.
The series is not a performance, but the residue of one — a private negotiation between presence and disappearance.

Fragments is the pause before reinvention.
A document of becoming. A portrait of the self mid-erasure.

You brought out play and love once again, all in my mind. I’m feeling new blue, 2024

I need someone temporarily sweet to me, I’ll do anything you please, 2024
