Pocket Shots: Capturing The Way Reality Feels
Pocket Shots: Capturing the Way Reality Feels
Series Statement
The world is slipping, shifting—these are my echoes of it. Some shots are accidental (a pocket slip), some intentional (a spin in the moment), but all capture the feeling of an unstable reality. This is my current exploration.
In a time when history rewrites and repeats itself at record speed and when facts are constantly distorted, my idea is to have these images reflect back at us the way reality feels right now.
The world used to insist on clarity. I remember when I thought truth was the most important thing. But truth is now bent and reshaped until it no longer resembles itself. Lies move faster than facts, and distortion has become the new reality.
My Pocket Shots exist in this space.
This urge to move beyond realism isn’t new. The Impressionists abandoned strict representation to paint what light felt like. The Dadaists turned the absurdity of war and politics into critique. The Abstract Expressionists insisted that meaning comes from raw experience. The Surrealists chased the subconscious, and the Cubists fractured forms to challenge perception itself. Glitch art continues this lineage, embracing digital and analog errors to reveal the fractures in how we process the world.
Like these movements, my Pocket Shots are an attempt to show what lingers in motion and slips through our control — and, more importantly, what we feel even when the world can’t see clearly.
Like all of these movements, my Pocket Shots are an attempt to show what lingers in motion and slips through our control, but mostly what we feel even when the world can’t see clearly.
