Subjects: Katie Morris - Subject #101

Deeply rooted in absurdism, this work explores the philosophical idea that human existence is intertwined in a purposeless and chaotic universe of utter randomness.

The uncanny image can be seen as a passage of escape from the constraints of our own reality, allowing viewers to become engrossed in a dubious world of the absurd. When we are confronted by a place in which the boundaries of our tangible world are shattered, the impossible is left to become a daily occurrence.
