I view my work as a means for tangible, social interaction.

When creating, I bring in models with whom I have a personal relationship, and throughout the session, will pressure them to perform increasingly strange actions. They are willing to go so far because it is me asking them or because it’s a performance for the camera, but they are always conscious of the social norms being broken. The extent to which they will stray for these norms is the breaking point I strive to capture. The result is a social experiment dependent on the interplay of strangeness, humor, and danger.
