This collaborative piece focuses on perception. Our group aims to explore the deeply vulnerable aspects of our self, revealing the internal struggles we face on a daily basis as we delve into our anxieties, fears, insecurities, raw emotions that are normally invisible. We bring all these into light through photography, distorting our images, submerging the audience into a kaleidoscope of colours and beauty, the discomfort of it all weaving into the piece, brought out through the use of synesthesia. The shining wavelengths of gradience that paint our faces lead towards the culmination, a change in how we perceive a person, from the mundane to a multifaceted individual, allowing the audience to visually experience the mind’s metamorphosis, the usual unseen; there is no black and white, there is never anything that simple. This artwork draws inspiration from Richard Mosse’s piece ‘The Enclave’ (2013), where it similarly brings out the intangible, unseen parts of the world by changing the natural colour of the luscious green environment of The Democratic Republic of Congo into a jarring bubble gum pink colour, unearthing horrific external trauma of their civil war, unveiling the isolation, the vulnerable and sinister parts of us. While Mosse focuses on the external effects of war onto the environment, we deal with the internal conflicts, the mental battles. Mosse’s piece is a jarring one, one that brings light to the truth and brutality, to the rawness of it all, and we hope that our piece evokes the same idea his did.
