When our eyes encounter the world, we collect visual evidence that our brain ultimately resolves - by way of recognition and re-creation - into an image. Through a process heavily dependent on statistical inference, we collate this data into identifiable forms, and we call these collected forms our universe. In “Neon,” I interrupt this process of endless cognitive matchmaking by introducing forms that do not immediately reflect known quantities. The digital images displace rational environments and make our eyes “think,” creating optical images where identifiable signatures of architecture and city lights repeat until they collapse into a space of uncertainty.
In this photographic work, my focus was to work with light, specifically with the Neon lights of the Art Deco buildings in Miami Beach, and used the magic luminous lines that create diverse shapes and writings. I transformed the photographic material creating a palette of colors and assembled the different images shaping them into a luminous composition.
