State of Disequilibrium
Bravery of One
Severance
Three select works from Rebellion— a narrative photo series that depicts a group of individuals who are tethered to a central leader. They are their leader's vital life force—as denoted by their red and blue “veins"—yet choose to physically sever themselves in order to regain their sovereignty (together). Through this project, viewers are invited to reflect on the various forms of oppression and control that persist in our current climate. It aims to confront the limits of our existence and to consider the immense power that lies within the act of breaking free. It is a testament to the indomitable human spirit: the willingness to endure pain, to shed one's own blood, to confront the forces that seek to dominate. To rebel is not merely an option but an essential force for change, progress, and the preservation of individual identity in our increasingly interconnected and controlled world.
