‘Monachopsis’, in very general terms, is defined as the subtle feeling of being out of place. With these works, I kind of took some liberties with that definition, and expanded them to apply that feeling to events and locales as well, rather than just a personal, internal feeling.
Situations can feel off, out of place. Locations can make us feel that way too. I think the feeling that things are wrong can work both internally and externally. These works all intend to explore that in some way.
