Selfie Stick (Inverted Memories)

This sculptural figure stages the body as a living archive: a glossy, ochre torso densely collaged with small photographic fragments that read like memory tiles, intimate yet anonymized by their sheer repetition. The upward, elongated arms generate a vertical thrust—part invocation, part surrender—while the cool, denim-blue legs anchor the gesture in the language of everyday identity and consumer uniform. Set against a bare architectural corner, the work heightens the tension between private recollection and public display, suggesting how a self can be constructed, worn, and continuously rewritten by images. The contrast of warm skin-like sheen and faded jean hues turns nostalgia into a tactile surface, inviting the viewer to consider remembrance as both adornment and weight.
