WINDOW WOMAN
OIL ON CANVAS, 48 in x 48 in, 2022
The inspiration for my painting, ‘The Bath Webcam’, arises from my research on the prevalence of hidden webcams in rental accommodations. The alarming instances of privacy violations, both past and present, deeply concern me.
In this composition, the central figure exudes a composed demeanor while awaiting the gradual filling of her bathtub with water. She finds solace in savoring a warm cup of coffee, her countenance reflecting deep contemplation. While she waits, we can see the water pouring into the tub. A round mirror positioned behind her, creates an interesting visual contrast against the linear pattern on the wall. At the base of the woman's feet rests a vase adorned with serene white roses, contributing to the overall environment of restfulness. The ambiance exudes a soothing aura, evoking memories of a tranquil retreat. In all appearances, she does not seem worried about her privacy. I incorporated disturbances into this tranquil scene, materializing as glitches that traverse the canvas from left to right. .
These visual irregularities, in conjunction with pixelation, serve as a symbolic portrayal of technological malfunctions. I wanted this artwork to reflect an intimate moment that someone has jeopardized. The perception of tranquillity and comfort is one that I believe we can each identify with.

HANDHELD WEBCAM CAFE
OIL ON CANVAS, 20 x 20, 2021
Privacy in public spaces is a frequent topic of discussion in our technologically advanced society. In this regard, I have created “Handheld Webcam Café”, a visual representation of a privacy violation.
In my artwork, I wanted to capture a moment where someone is being secretly filmed using a handheld device. The scene takes place in a cozy café, and the person in focus is casually enjoying a sandwich. For many Americans, this setting represents a calm haven where they can unwind and enjoy their personal space.
To emphasize the connection to technology, I opted for a color scheme dominated by various shades of blue. We often associate blue with tech gadgets, like the blue light emitted by computer screens. I also incorporated glitches and pixelation into my piece, as they symbolize the visual disruptions commonly encountered while using digital devices.
The artwork I have created exemplifies the effortless manner in which individuals may inadvertently capture personal instances within the confines of public spaces. Through this visual interpretation, I aim to bring attention to the profound influence of technology on contemporary life, with a specific emphasis on the gradual erosion of privacy in public areas.
