GILT COMPLEX
“Gilt” is a surface—it’s the shiny gold leaf, the polish, the grandeur.
“Guilt complex” is the idea that something's gone wrong, something’s off.
That tension, between glamour and decay, between what we celebrate and what we ignore, that’s what I’m after. I want the viewer to feel that something’s not quite right, even when it’s beautiful. Maybe especially when it’s beautiful.
