PERSONAGE
2025

Acrylic, chain, blue metal carabiners

PERSONAGE is an analysis of fragmented corporeality and commodification. The experimental publication deconstructs the way the self is impacted by the digital space and surveillance technology. 

Through the use of symbolic imagery, such as self-portrayal inspired by the representations in Gothic manuscripts and decorative motifs drawn from bird’s eye view of highway intersections adorning the figure. 

The artist book is a careful visualization of the relationship between the true embodiment and a persona that is inevitably constructed out of collected data.
