Both "Perceptual Filters II" and "Perceptual Filters III" explore the intersection of perception, technology, and human experiences. Through abstraction, filters, layers, and transparencies, the artworks examine perceptual filters, cognitive distortions, and social constructs. The interplay of clarity and obstruction—created through printed ink, laser-cut holes, and transparent materials—transforms these pieces into real information filters. By printing biomorphic filters on clear plastics, the artworks invite viewers to reflect on their own perceptual filters and the limited information they allow in to construct their realities.

The filters come from distorted photos of bubble wrap, symbolizing how defense mechanisms, like bubble wrap, could shield yet distort our perceptions. This manipulation retains traces of the original object, emphasizing the potential significant gap between objective reality and personal perception. Though altering the rigid shape of hard plastics is challenging, heat can facilitate change, symbolizing the neuroplasticity of our thinking patterns and suggesting that it is possible to change one’s patterns of perception, even when it feels difficult. The differences in materials and sizes explore the varieties of factors that influence our perceptions of ourselves and others and, thus, our views of the world.
