These works challenge the biological and psychological approach to my ideas on perception. I question the way I see objects with my eyes, but simultaneously create the same object in my mind, producing a conflicted state of viewing the image. The two images, the one my eyes see and the one my mind sees, argue, blurring both its definition and form. This, in a sense, causes me to pause and question the integrity of the object’s real identity. This physiological missed connection is documented in sculptures and drawings.
