RED LIGHT-GREEN LIGHT

Photomedia

Digital photography, print on paper

Red Light, Green Light represents the pace of modern life, where events collide in constant motion. With its pop-culture reference to Squid Game, my body of work conveys how a symbol of tension and urgency can be transformed into a call for pause, presence and reflection amid relentless change. My intention was to examine the uneasy rhythm of a world that never stops. The flicker that I saw between stillness and movement became both question and mirror, and my work an illustration of how we rush through moments meant to be felt.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Justine Varga, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Wall.
