I wanted to frame and capture the frenetic and chaotic sensations experienced in a metropolitan city.
The chaos does not exist only in the external environment, but takes place within the mind. Sounds, movements, and visual overloads are absorbed and reflected internally, I then incorporated them onto the image itself.
The work becomes a way of translating inner disorder into a visual form, where reality meets the internal state of the observer, and the two collide and overlap.
The fragmented pieces of the City of New York appear almost reflected onto the concrete surface of the background, faded and unfocused as if they did not belong there.
The image is present, yet ethereal and ephemeral.
The piece takes inspiration from images reflected in puddles of water, where two concurrent realities meet. Both the surface and the reflected image exist simultaneously, yet in separate spaces.
They come together only through a specific point of view, at a precise moment in time, within the mind of the observer.
This work reflects my lived experience, filtered through the internal chaos that accompanies it. We all carry this duality within our reality: what we experience externally is constantly intertwined with our inner dialogue, struggles, and emotional states.
Here, the external chaos is amplified by the internal one. The two realities overlap, just like an image reflected on water — belonging to each other only in that moment and from that single perspective.
