Positioning hidden absence, silence & shadow not as voids, but vital to understand the complexity of cultural performance & postcolonial subjectivity.

Doh Mix Meh Up is an installation set during an Aruban carnival parade that interrogates the limits of visual representation. Through my lens, the parade appears only in fragments glimpses of light, color, and dance.

Working with darkness, rupture, and partial visibility, the piece resists documentary conventions by privileging the unseen and the incomplete. It asks whether the camera can ever capture a moment in its fullness, or if every image is inevitably shaped by bias and history.

 In this work, darkness becomes a site of power: what remains hidden often reveals more than what is shown. Doh Mix Meh Up positions absence, silence, and shadow not as voids, but as vital to understanding the complexity of cultural performance and postcolonial subjectivity.
