Blinded examines our growing tendency to be digitally present while drifting away from the randomness and intimacy of lived experience. The work is built around a single, recurring gesture: a sitter whose gaze is withheld, not through physical blindness but through attention diverted elsewhere. Their body remains in the room; their presence is already online.

Across three interlocking elements, Blinded asks what is lost when the urge to document overtakes the act of living:

• Photography  portraits flatten the sitter into the bright, almost-bleached tonality of a screen capture. The absence of eye contact invites viewers to sense a mind already scrolling beyond the frame.

• Video Looped close-ups slow time to the pace of buffering: a half-smile held too long, a breath delayed, a gesture repeating. The footage mirrors how we pause real moments to ensure they are recorded, curated, and shared.

• Installation A dense wall assemblage of printed photos, stitched threads, gauze, and text fragments evokes the chaos of a camera roll. Holes punched through the images suggest data points ,proof of presence collected faster than it can be lived.
