      FOMO
      Photography / Pencil Work / Solar Plate Etching (2015)

      In 2015, I attended the London School of Communication and undertook a Foundation Year. After having extensively worked with the schools printing facilities, such as linocut, letterpress, and the various intaglio printing processes, I decided to focus on solar plate etching for my final project.

      The FOMO project revolved around investigating the topic of our digital existence. Its outcome being tangible personas, created via old and new technologies, existing both in the material, and the digital world.

      In a sense, these final prints are meant to represent the modern dilemma of having to continuously adjust to various social ideologies, our personalities become wedged between both, the digital realm and the real world. We try to find a balance between existing in these two planes, yet in turn this ultimately affects our own mentality, and how we perceive others.
