DON’T PUSH ME CAUSE I’M CLOSE TO THE EDGE 2010 - 2024

These photographs, taken during my global travels, delve into our nuanced relationships with power, desire, faith, conflict, birth, and death. The series is a testament to how dominant systems and structures shape our daily experiences and inspire everyday acts of resistance.

The cornerstone of my artistic practice is to make the invisible visible, shedding light on the overlooked, marginalized, and oppressed, while challenging our propensity to turn a blind eye to uncomfortable realities and deny the consequences of our choices. This specific series delves into the intricate dynamics of the human condition—the narratives we spin, the forces that push us forward or hold us back, and the impact we have on each other and the world around us.
The collection also features collaborations with individuals who champion and live out alternative narratives and identities. Whether seen through role-playing, joining the army, participating in religious groups, protests, marches, or campaigns, my work explores how we create new tribes and mythologies, and the inherent contradictions, tensions, and tipping points that come with exerting control.

'Don't Push Me Cause I’m Close to the Edge' also illustrates how our perceptions evolve based on the care and treatment we receive on both personal and political strata. I believe this exhibition can challenge viewers to introspect their own perceptions while fostering a more empathetic understanding of diverse experiences.
