Illuminated encaustic (wax) on plexiglas. Sensors trigger the lights to rise from behind the painting, creating a stained-glass glowing effect.
Can be displayed individually or in pillars.

Addressing the golden age of social media where we still feel safe enough to share ourselves, F2F explores the gap between our public, private and digital identities, mediated by distance and devices, our digital avatars may be more bold than we would otherwise be IRL (in real life); some appear to be "perfect" candy-colored characters who only share "the good stuff;" and in some ways we are all more vulnerable online than we realize. In this world, we surveil each other. 

Individual panels: 6.5 feet high x 2 feet wide.
