Artist Statement

We live in an age of duality. The human species is connected like never before. Yet, many of us feel more isolated than ever. Together, We Are Apart is a visual study of this duality with images of both isolation and togetherness - frequently juxtaposed in a single frame. The project explores what it means to be together during a time of pandemic-induced isolation, social media and smartphone addiction. Is our interconnectedness a blessing, or a curse? Must we simply redefine “togetherness”? As the world changes around us, the answer is unclear. So, for now, together, we are apart.
