Untoldknown

"An extension of my research on the 'justification of meaning,' Untoldknown explores the semiological residue of the unspoken. Developed during the Atelier 7 residency, this series transitions from the political to the biological, utilizing insect and larva forms to visualize the internal fragmentation and transformation that occur when words fail to legitimize experience."

Untoldknown

"Untoldknown focuses on the tension between what is articulated and what is suppressed, positioning the human portrait as a site of emotional and semiotic residue. Produced during the Atelier 7 Artist-in-Residence program at The Letter Art Gallery, this series functions as a psychological counterpart to my broader inquiries into 'justification' and 'power dynamics.' > While my curatorial projects like Projection of the Phenomenon analyze the institutional aspects of legitimacy, Untoldknown deconstructs the internal vibration of the individual. The insect and larva forms serve as visual metaphors for thoughts in an intermediate state—fragments of a mind struggling to find a legitimate form of expression. Through collage and portrait analysis, the series makes visible the unease and repetition that unspeakable words create, transforming the 'unspoken' into a tangible, biological presence within the body and mind."
