Under Blue delves into gender politics by exploring themes of beauty, pleasure, disgust, danger, violence, eroticism, and artificiality. Through a dance of brush strokes and camera movements, the work evokes a sense of voyeuristic power in the viewer, eliciting both fascination and discomfort.
Employing close-up shots exclusively, the artwork creates a sense of image alienation, transforming the body and its movements into a new form of landscape. Fragmented bodies, dynamic movements, vivid colors, and rich textures blur the line between reality and surrealism, captivating the viewer’s attention even in the absence of clear contextual references. Simultaneously, the piece challenges and complicates the act of looking, inviting contemplation on the nuanced complexities of perception.
