Collective Behavior
“As humans we often emphasize our uniqueness and individuality.
Beneath these independent identities, however, all humans harbor a deep, intrinsic need to be part of a group. A group provides security and comfort, but it can also become its own entity where mob mentality overrides individ- ual thought. As an artist, I am fascinat- ed with human collective behavior and how it inevitably leads to hierarchical systems, social divisions and manipula- tive power. My current body of work examines different aspects of collective behavior through drawing, installation, and painting.”
