Chameleon

Chameleon is a series of sculptural forms made from torn photographic prints from my Resonances series. Shaped over bubble wrap—an everyday byproduct of consumer culture —and later removed, the forms retain both the visual fragments of the original image and the imprint of plastic pressed into their surfaces.

These hybrid objects blur the boundary between photography and sculpture, image and skin, presence and residue. By digesting my own images into new material states, I reflect on what we carry with us: the marks left by the cyclical nature of consumption, transformation, and memory.

Inspired by Lavoisier's principle that nothing is lost and everything is transformed, the series suggests that transformation is not erasure. What we consume does not disappear; it shifts form, leaving traces etched into matter, memory, and skin.

Like the animal it references, Chameleon adapts to its surroundings. Here, those surroundings are plastic, and their imprint remains in the skin.
