This series was created over two years (2023–2024) and comprises over 120 Polaroids. Select pieces have been scanned and enlarged into striking 30x30-inch archival prints for display. One standout piece, juxtaposing the Walt Disney Concert Hall, has been permanently archived at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
Day vs. Night Juxtapositions invites viewers to find light within life’s darkest moments, encouraging a shift toward balance and hope amidst chaos.
Where there is light, there is also darkness. The series captures stark polarities—lightning in the sky, arid desert landscapes—illustrating the extreme contrasts in weather caused by climate change. It serves as a quiet yet powerful commentary on the global ecological crises shaping our world today.
The warm, vibrant tones of the daytime images symbolize the bustling energy of capitalism, while the cool, tranquil hues of the nighttime images represent the unseen beauty, creativity, and introspection often overshadowed by our work-centric culture. Together, these juxtapositions offer a nuanced critique of modern society, which prioritizes productivity over artistic expression, consumerism over imagination, and technological advancement over genuine discovery. The series also reflects on the ecological crisis, emphasizing the urgency of reevaluating our values and the lasting impact of our choices on the planet.
