Fly on The Wall, A Dead        

New York, 2022

For starters the photos displayed are not just party photos or a night out. This work spans over several months of not just observing, but entering each individual's space interacting off emotions. Earlier in the year I was unstable with my emotions and poisoned by my thoughts. I deliberately ignored and attempted to run away from my problems and found myself in Bars, drowning myself within alcohol every weekend felt like my best and only coping mechanism. Had this sense of freedom from myself and continued this cycle for a period of time. Overtime instead of running away ignoring my thoughts and emotions it made a picture more vivid. Instead of just being in “my moment” I noticed other people’s moments as-well. When I realized this I stayed. This choice seemed freeing in the beginning but in the end, it unraveled in ways I couldn't possibly imagine. My body of work shows an individual's choice of compensation (Drinking, Smoking, Flirting, laughing, crying etc.) whether they (or myself) dance around the fact or even through it, we are poisoned by our own thoughts and that every cause truly has an effect on what we do next. Based on however I was feeling I would run into them by chance. There’s several variables that we can potentially discuss from a photographic standpoint to the physiological aspect of it all. I’ve allowed my heart to see what my eyes can’t and at the end of it I’ve found an escape through the medium of photography
