Perception is Reality
photography
In his Method of Doubt, also known as Cartesian Doubt, René Descartes arrives at a single point of certain knowledge: "I think, therefore I am." (Cogito, ergo sum).
This conceptual photography series takes inspiration from Descartes but distorts and reinterprets his method to explore perception and identity. By presenting individuals in a dual format, the work suggests parallel realities, but it does not dictate how they should be understood. Instead, viewers are invited to engage with both versions of each subject, constructing their own narratives and responses. Some may instinctively favour one over the other, while others may find meaning in holding both in mind at once. The series ultimately serves as a space for reflection on how we perceive others and ourselves.
