Replika (2022)

Replika is a series of self-portraits exploring the idea of degradation of media when it’s compressed either in digital or analog format. Quite like recording a copy of a copy of an audio or video tape. This often adds filter of noise which replaces the original information with new artifacts. Loss of detail brings out new kinds of perspectives to the original photograph the paintings are base on. Situations in the pictures are ordinary glimpses of daily life with underlaying tones scaling from serenity to anxiety.
