In Duplexity, the technology of movement in the work allows for a subtle optical illusion where the object mutates between 2D and 3D planes, between the physical object and the digital rendering. These transactions between worlds in motion insist on the idea of communicating across different languages and existing simultaneously in between distant realities and places.
The use of a reflective surface, repetition, and shadows creates a multiple existence of both the object and the viewer offering different points of view of the same subject, as well as a distorted version of oneself dependable on the placement.
This strong sense of duplicity and distortion is motivated by:
-Hybrid identities embodying a multilingual experience and a duplicate self that exists in-between places
-The idea of transnational worlds existing and communicating simultaneously in multiple languages over long distances.
