Pocket Shots: Capturing the Way Reality Feels
Pocket Shots: Capturing the Way Reality Feels.
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—where meaning unravels, where the edges blur, where what is real shifts before we can hold onto it. These accidental, surreal, out-of-focus glimpses reject the need for precision because precision no longer guarantees truth. They capture movement within moments. They are artifacts of a world that refuses to stand still, a world that is slipping, reconfiguring, and fragmenting in real-time.
This isn’t new. The Impressionists abandoned rigid realism to paint what light felt like. The Dadaists made art out of the absurdity of war and politics. The Abstract Expressionists argued that meaning comes from raw experience. The Surrealists chased the subconscious. The Cubists deconstructed forms, challenging the viewer’s perception of reality. Today, glitch art embraces digital and analog errors, exposing the fractures in how we process the world.
Like these movements, my Pocket Shots are glances at a world that won’t hold still. These images are my attempt to show what lingers in motion, what slips through our control, and what we feel even when we can’t see clearly.
