Black Light White Lies

Black Light White Lies explores the ways we shape the versions of ourselves we choose to show others.

Through light, shadow, gesture, and distortion, the figure becomes uncertain. Faces are obscured, expressions shift, and familiar features fracture. The portrait becomes less a record of identity than a negotiation between visibility and concealment.

The work considers the tension between sincerity and performance—between who we are, who we want to be seen as, and what we choose to leave hidden.

The photographs ask a simple question: how much truth can a portrait actually reveal?

If Black Light White Lies confronts revelations, Aluminum Eden enters a new realm of being.
