Uncertain Transparency, discusses the shift in identity following the progression of time, and the effect that external forces have on outward appearance. Taking inspiration from physical mass-produced media, such as newspapers and Calvin Klein catalogs, this project discusses the necessity of hiding in plain sight while finding solace in one’s community.

How did you land on photography as your primary medium? Photography ended up being an accidental love. I initially became interested in darkroom processes and the unpredictable nature of it. Experimental processes, such as chemograms, became important to the beginnings of my photographic works, wherein I’d be forced to trust the process and allow projects to naturally evolve.

I had no idea my project would become what it has. I typically have a general idea of what themes I want to explore in a project, but the process tends to change. There were initial plans to make a book or zines, but that eventually became a project focused on finding a new way of incorporating mass-production themes into the work.
