Description
This series of 42 artworks pairs surreal animal photographs, each with censored eyes - with deeply personal haiku confessions, creating a striking interplay between absurdity and authenticity. Whilst some confessions are fleeting observations, others reveal profound anxieties or unspoken truths.
The juxtaposition of anonymised animals with raw, unfiltered admissions invites both amusement and unease. The intention is to highlight the power of vulnerability - how articulating an unguarded thought, whether trivial, shameful, or deeply personal, can momentarily bridge the gap between isolation and connection.
The use of animals is strategic. Their presence introduces a disarming quality that aims to make the works more approachable. Acting as proxies, they offset the weight of the writing, allowing darker themes to emerge without immediate confrontation.
The black censor bars, typically associated with anonymity in human contexts, become inherently farcical when applied to animals. This visually striking and unusual presentation is designed to lure in viewers and provoke intrigue.
As a series, these works form a patchwork of human experience, shifting between the profound and the ridiculous. Through a blend of stark honesty and surreal aesthetic, Anonymous Animal Haiku Confessions conveys the quiet absurdities that connect us all.
