ARTWORK DESCRIPTION
Threesome is inspired by the structure of a multiple-camera setup in filmmaking. When several cameras record the same scene, a real moment is divided into separate angles, distances, and interpretations.The composition places fragmented bodies, smartphones, intersecting sightlines, translucent surfaces, and floating architectural forms inside a split visual field. The figures share one frame, yet each seems to occupy a different version of the moment.The title describes a relationship between the self, another person, and the device positioned between them. Each perspective becomes a witness of the abstract reality. At the center, clouds and geometric blocks form an unstable digital space. It resembles a set, a memory, and a scene still being assembled. The work reflects on what happens when an experience is lived, recorded, and fragmented simultaneously.
