VISUAL ARTWORKS COLLECTION
A study of emotional excess and stuckness.
-
This project is the first part of a self-initiated series that examines emotion-driven inner states through video and photography.
Inspired visually by "Caged" by Forest Swords, the work combines original photography and AI-generated animation from photos to create a fragmented yet immersive world.
Cognitive dissonance, a term coined by psychologist Leon Festinger, refers to the psychological discomfort experienced when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or ideas simultaneously. This discomfort often leads to an alteration in one of the beliefs or behaviors to reduce the dissonance and achieve internal consistency. A person who values health but smokes cigarettes. The conflict between knowing smoking is harmful and continuing the habit creates dissonance. This put us in a default option which we always make the same choices without contemplating.
