Conceptual nominee

All images were shot with the front facing camera of an iPhone 6 Plus.

One of my first digital projects, coming from the darkroom doing experimental works I started this series seeing what I could do with my “daily eye”, my phone and pushing those images to their digital limits.

The title is, partially, an ode to psychedelia, the enlightened sense of perception that one can achieve via certain enhancers. Enhancers can vary for each individual, and range from drugs to skydiving to music. Regardless of the method, the outcome of enhanced personal perception remains the same. As long as the action enhances ones perception of their world, is it not worth it?

Born and raised in Roslindale, MA, I am a first-generation Greek-American artist. I am experimenting with multiple mediums, but have found my passion to be in photography. Currently, I am exploring experimental photography, specifically photomontage and collage.
