By mimicking the iconic NASA media of asteroids, “Near Misses” explores how humans interpret media and form opinions based on signifiers, and examines the delicate relationship between perception and reality.
This series represents the increasing ambiguity and complexity of our relationship with media and the need for critical thinking when interpreting the content we consume. By presenting terrestrial rocks that resemble asteroids and meteorites, I challenge viewers to question their assumptions and consider the limitations of perception. This process of reflection makes way for contemplation of how we consume and interpret information. Emphasizing that truth is not always as easily discernible as it may seem.
