Collage has always been one of my favorite mediums for both personal expression and project work. I disassembled my keys and meticulously photographed each keychain alongside a piece of a magazine ad. For this shoot, I took apart my keys and photographed all my keychains and a piece of a magazine ad, separately. In Photoshop, I combined, resized, and reconfigured seven keychains into a chaotic, layered collage that pulls the viewer’s eye in multiple directions. This overwhelming visual noise evokes a sense of panic, yet surprisingly, the process only took a little longer than working on paper. I love pushing boundaries through experimentation—it helps me master new tools, inspires fresh techniques for future projects, and makes weird things like this.
