My interest comes from questioning what is normal. Who is setting the parameters for what our society accepts and for what it opposes? I want to explore people’s perceptions of others and the effect of those perceptions on the individuals being examined. I think it’s interesting that those being examined sometimes take on the interpretations that others have projected onto them and incorporate that into their own characteristics. In a sense, someone is always creating us. Even if we ignore what people think of us, perception is still present and alive.

I’m interested in making that perception visual.
