Kenro Izu’s photograph, “Blue #1010B” seems particularly poignant in the current state of the world, with so much violence and oppression both on a large scale and also personal. The awkwardly crouched, cold blue figure seemingly frozen in time, seeking refuge, inspired the creation of my own version in which the figure is further isolated, and cut up into separate boxes. One part might feel heavy, or darker than another more diaphanous. Divisions dictating experience. Blue, black, and bruised.
