• The world holds many secrets. Some are safely locked away, while others are hidden in plain view through camouflage, concealment or disguise. This project is an exploration of the social drivers and cultural motivations that surround ‘secrets in plain view’, as well as the methods that contribute to their secrecy. The resulting experiments focus on disrupting recognition and ‘visual noise’ as a method of hiding.
