Flowers for Heinecken

Inspired by Robert Heinecken’s series "Are You Rea", this work emphasizes the multi-dimensionality and materiality of the image. Through its appropriation - this altering of perception provides new ways to experience images previously disseminated for a specific context, purpose and way of viewing. This work invites viewers to see something recognizable in a different light and in ways that you’re not supposed to.
