This body of work combines elements of magazine cutouts, appropriated imageries, and found objects, into a new photographic form. I used magazine cutouts as my main subject. The ranges of the contents are varied from human bodies, family photo album, sexuality, and weapons to the symbols of mass consumption. I reconstructed our daily life into the microcosm of our society.

These cutouts and everyday objects are like cells and veins; the whole image is a representation of pathological sections of our society. By placing these random cutouts with daily objects on a scanner, I created a view of our current status in this chaotic modern society. The cutouts and objects are representing the fragments of our life. These collages enlarge the idea of the life under a microscope by arranging different subjects in the center of the frames surrounded with the dark space.
