staged

Pursuit of Happiness constructs a radically stylized visual world — between mirrors and skulls, longing and surface. An aesthetic that exists somewhere between Hades and haute couture. The protagonists are icons of illusion. Staged bodies enclosed in vitrines of darkness and sheen. What they think remains their own. What they feel is reflected in light, in surfaces, in metallic skulls — never spoken. Merely suggested.

Male projections. Anticipated, enacted, mistaken for truth.
