Reflections Series
Reflections: Painting With Pixels (2008) is an interactive art installation that involves the viewer, captured via live video feed, in pixel painting of his or her image. The process of pixel painting is stretched in time and fragmental, inviting the viewer to contemplate on the generated image. The video camera captures the viewer in segments of time, displaying him or her on the screen in multiple instances at once. The generated image continuously reinvents itself according to the viewer’s position and movement.

Divided
First version of Divided (2002) was created for the 2nd Anniversary of the tragic events of September 11th in New York City.
Divided reflects on my shifting emotions of anger, love, pity, understanding and confusion after September 11, 2001. It presents a split image of oneself, questioning one’s own strong opinions in regard to that tragic day and in regard to the direction the United States took following the September 11th attacks.
Second version of Divided (2010), I attempt to create a contemplative space that explores issues of the real and the virtual self. The project presents a split image of a viewer on a large projection screen. Difficult to recognize at first the image stares at the viewer. Constantly redefining itself it becomes a digital mirror, a digital persona of the viewer reflected in the virtual space that blends our desires, fears and complexes into a distorted, extended self.
