UV Portraits

Silkscreen on canvas and paper, phosphorescent pigments, UV lighting.

“UV Portraits” is a thought-provoking series that examines the dynamics of identity and visibility in the age of social media and algorithms. Each portrait is created using phosphorescent pigments that remain hidden until illuminated by UV light, mirroring the unseen mechanisms of algorithms that dictate what is visible or concealed in digital spaces. This duality challenges viewers to reflect on how social media shapes perceptions of identity and privacy, as well as the hidden forces that influence what we see and how we are seen. By connecting the personal and the digital, “UV Portraits” offers a powerful commentary on the fragility of human presence in an algorithm-driven world.
