wanted | 2026
WANTED is an ongoing project based on photographs from my high school yearbook that examines the nature of this conventional form of portraiture against the backdrop of longing, obsession, and drama that define coming of age.
Focusing on young women and the performative aspects of their portraits. I re-photograph their yearbook pictures, vastly enlarging them and reconfiguring the halftone matrix. Transformed into large-scale, 48 x 38-inch archival UV prints on aluminum composite material (ACM), each portrait is rendered in diffuse shades of gray, suspending the subjects in a materially rigid yet ambiguous state of becoming.
