I felt this exhibit would lend to a very coherent and interesting visual system due to the very similar colour palette all the works share as well as the suite of these works communicate with a visual language of their own and I found the concept behind them very interesting. They reflect how our identities are accumulated online in profiles and social media platforms and therefore we are accumulated together on screens. He reflects this dehumanisation nature of this, yet the magical concept of light and technology as a beautiful, fascinating thing.
