FLIGHT MODE IN THE CITY, Nicole Raziya Fong

"Sometimes the
hand can’t
hold the image
and the image
needs to fall
away."

Flight Mode in the City engages language as image-making, seeking to pose a distorted mirror to both immediate experience and the imaginary. A subject views painting in the midst of disembodied theorizations on sincerity as perfume wafts through—Tom Ford’s Black Orchid and summer corn, blue roses--

Informed by the linguistic effects of Lacanian psychoanalysis on a subject, a tearing within compositional process mirrors the distortions of experience reflected within. Collapsing onto an inevitable vanishing point, the subject transforms into disappearance, into meringue, into three blue butterflies--
