HAT TRICK, 2024

HAT TRICK explores themes of magic, performance, and sorcery, while still rooted in the familiar symbols that define White's practice. The work is centered on identity, and the ways we each construct our personas. Particularly in social media, members of contemporary society go to great lengths to present themselves in only the most glamorous or desirable ways. We all recognize these presentations as a kind of performance, an artificial version of who we are. Yet for all the knowledge that the images are staged, we accept them as real representations of each other worthy, of our envy.
