Projects > Politics of Discretion

3 charred wooden boxes, each with a key hole to peek through.
Each box contains an observation room with back lit images, the composite of which is a self portrait.

Politics of Discretion is a reflection on a culture of self-censorship perpetuated by social norms and political oppression.
