Vertigo > Illusions

As my work became more self-consciously theatrical, its architecture became more literal. I moved beyond the canvas to create a stage set, a physical manifestation of psychological space. Through layers of illusion, where trompe l'oeil trickery seemed more convincing than the artificial real, and the gates that promised entrance were only sheets of mirrored glass, I confronted the uneasy relationship between fantasy and reality.
