Screen Identity (2014)

A 7-foot sculpture that comments on the current generation’s virtual vanity and sense of self. Viewers see their reflection trapped inside a mirrored screen as they approach the device that frames their body. Several hundred photos of the piece were uploaded to social media platforms during the week it was on display, a fitting response.
