ABOUT THE WORK

This work was included in the "Through the Looking-Glass" group exhibition at Voss Gallery (August 5 - September 5, 2020).

"This piece is a story about Niharika, and I work together but have never met in person.  I wanted to recreate our virtual relationship through a computer screen. What would that process be from doing a virtual photoshoot, selecting the communication platform, to the time difference between California and India? The augmented reality is an expression of contexts that are experienced beyond the screen." —Kristian Kabuay
