Pocket Shots: Places-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—where meaning unravels, where the edges blur, where what is real shifts before we can hold onto it.
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, there's this thing called glitch art and it embraces digital and analog errors, exposing the fractures in how we process the world.
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.
