ABOUT

BLUE TAPE is a visual provocation—a quiet scream against the aesthetics of false engagement. In this series, the ubiquitous strip of painter’s tape becomes both symbol and shield: proudly visible, easily removed, and utterly clean. It mimics care, broadcasts awareness, but never commits.

We live in an age where concern is curated and outrage is performative. We “like” grief, share injustice, wear ribbons, change profile frames. We react. We signal. But rarely do we allow ourselves to be pierced. The blue tape is our boundary—protecting us from depth, from discomfort, from actual change.

Each image in this series confronts the viewer with the spectacle of caring without consequence. The bodies are marked, but untouched. The surfaces signal meaning, but resist transformation. It gestures toward change, but never crosses the threshold.

BLUE TAPE asks: At what point does visibility become its own form of denial? What are we really covering?
