The Dichotomy (2023โcurrent) is a raw and unfiltered photo series that captures what it means to grow up as part of Gen Zโcaught between two realities: one lived, one online.
Shot on 35mm film and contrasted with laptop screenshots, The Dichotomy documents the quiet, chaotic, beautiful mess of coming of age. Itโs late-night parties and early morning hangovers. Itโs intimate portraits of friends who feel like family, and still-life moments of self-reflection. But interspersed with these grainy, tangible fragments of real life are sharp and jarring screenshots from a different worldโthe one on our screens.
Politics. Porn. Push notifications. Dating apps. Doomscrolling. The split attention and the numbing overflow. Each screenshot serves as a counterpoint to the human moments, highlighting the constant digital noise that surrounds and interrupts our everyday lives.
This project isnโt just about contrast. Itโs about coexistence. Itโs about the tension of trying to form an identity and find meaning in a world where authenticity is filtered, emotions are monetized, and the news is always breaking.
The Dichotomy asks a quiet question in a loud world: Who are we in the digital age of technology?
Itโs an analog love letter to the real, set against the hyperstimulated blur of the digital. Through this project, weโre invited to pauseโto look closely at the lives weโre living, and the ones weโre constantly consuming.
