Healing

2016 – ongoing

The portraits have been manipulated with the healing tool in Photoshop over a period of time, as the artist thinks of the subject in an imagined attempt to heal them.

The work alludes to the supposed intimacy of digital technologies and its promise to unite people over large distances.
