The Hidden Cage describes a society in which individuals are measured less by their being than by their having. The series presents figures that appear modern, composed and adapted — embedded within structures of consumption, visibility and self-optimization.
Barcodes and reduced pictorial spaces reveal forms of binding through which order emerges without being perceived as coercion. The Hidden Cage does not accuse. The works hold up a mirror: we adorn our dependencies until we mistake them for freedom.
