Alien / Alienated
Alien here means both an otherworldly being from another planet and an outsider or foreign resident. This series treats alien in those two senses: beam‑lit gatherings, UFO imagery, and clustered faces sit alongside scenes of social estrangement to examine how wonder, suspicion, and exclusion shape belonging, for both imagined extraterrestrials and real‑life migrants. The works move between humor and unease, holding the simultaneous thrill of discovery and the ache of not belonging.
