"UnFrame: Relationship" explores my own subconscious mind and intimacies using an abstract visual language based on the principles of semiotics. The portraits are made with expired film that correspond to the dates of their subjects’ birth. This concept introduces elements of distortion and chance to the images, which are then further deconstructed in a collage fashion. The often surprising, sometimes unrecognizable end result corresponds to the disconnect between expectation and reality often found in human relationships.
