Tweeted, Googled and Inappropriately Touched
Tweeted, Googled and Inappropriately Touched considers how personal identity is increasingly constructed through acts of public disclosure. Each pair of underpants functions as an intimate portrait, using an everyday object associated with privacy to reflect the ways individuals reveal themselves through social media, reality television, celebrity culture, and the twenty-four-hour news cycle.
The sculptures expose fragments of personality—opinions, humor, desires, prejudices, and contradictions—suggesting that what was once considered private has become part of a shared public performance. Rather than concealing identity, the underpants become unlikely documents of the values and behaviors that define contemporary culture.
The work asks what remains genuinely private when intimacy is continually exchanged for visibility, and how the stories we choose to share shape our public identities. The translucent forms suggest that identity itself remains partial—revealed through what is shared, yet never fully knowable.
