Fear Farm

We build walls and scarecrows to keep what we fear at a distance, but in my artwork, Fear Farm, the bird and the scarecrow are made of the exact same straw. This image reflects the ideas of the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, who believed that the things we push away or see as the enemy are often just mirrors of our own identity. We create an outside threat to define who we are, yet we remain deeply connected to it. The mismatched button eyes on the scarecrow capture that exact moment of realization, showing that we cannot truly separate ourselves from the world we try to shut out. In this piece, the very thing meant to frighten turns out to be a part of the self.
