‘The work explores the encounter with a version of oneself that feels both familiar and unfamiliar. Like looking into a mirror and finding that the reflection has changed.
Identity is constantly being reconfigured through our experiences and relationships. Sometimes, we encounter a version of ourselves that no longer corresponds to the image we have held for years. The work explores this space between recognition and estrangement, where we are confronted with who we have become and must find new ways of understanding ourselves.
I think of it in a way that reminds me of Ursula Le Guin, of how she writes about change as something quiet and patient, something shaped through contact and relation. In this piece, that shift happens through the encounter with oneself. A slow reconfiguring that begins simply by noticing that we are not exactly the same as before.’ -Torres Thomspon
