OUTSIDE IN

 I designed this installation in conjunction with Dallas Hartwig Photo Exhibition ‘OUTSIDE IN’. This sculpture is an interactive concept forcing the viewers to look inside “peep holes” that were placed randomly, some were placed in inconvenient and uncomfortable spots. Once you peeked in, you could see and smell the outdoors (or “Outside”)…scents of juniper, cedar, tumbleweed, dried florals, and other wildflowers.
I wanted to express my observations of humanity, we are all insecure, fragile, always paying attention to our shiny exterior, obsessing on the outside yet the inside is where all the beauty and magic lies. It might get uncomfortable at time when we reflect inwards but real truth grows from there.
