Plastic Tiger

Plastic Tiger navigates the space between initiation and performance, using coded costuming, synthetic landscapes, and ritualistic gesture to articulate an experience of psychic entanglement.
Drawing upon archetypes of the oracle, the animal, and the veiled twin, the series investigates how identity can be shaped—or distorted—through ceremonial repetition. At its core is a question of authorship: who casts the circle, and who is cast within it?
Through this body of work, the artist examines containment, borrowed myth, and the slow unraveling of rituals that do not belong to the soul they touch.
What begins in Plastic Tiger as a ritual of transformation finds its aftermath in Tramps and Saints—where the masks fall, and devotion confronts the real.
