In both these series I desired to create this fabricated reality, questioning what we’re actually seeing. The images become surreal, information is abandoned as the colour takes over and objects seem to lose their original purpose. I began with the idea of camouflaging objects in colour, experimenting with how they merge into the background. The only aspect which determines what the object is is the shape. This questions whether the object is actually present, especially within the images of the banana. The unusual colours give the bananas an artificial look, yet they are real. In the portraits the colour seems to mask certain features, giving the figure a quite androgynous look. I have chosen the four colours as they seem to be the purest range and none substantially dominate against each other, so they work well as a set.
