Twofold

Twofold is an existential self-portrait that explores the oscillation of self through a queer lens. I am interested in visually representing enigmatic dualities: the dichotomy that exists between bliss and anguish or desire and disgust. Lustrous movement frozen in time perpetuates a sense of the uncanny. Multiples of the same individual in different conditions of being signifies an uncanny double, or doppelgänger. Something commonplace seen in a way that is suddenly strange: a face forming from another. Like the self, but threateningly other…What is familiar is rendered unfamiliar.
