An absurd colloid of two separate perspectives of the same corridor in my college, a kid from the mountains, and a sliced balloon.
Back in the final two years of my school, I came across these retro collage edits when I started browsing vapor aesthetics. I loved the idea of how various images could be cut and pasted digitally to get an amazing amalgamation. My initial attempts were clumsy with untidy cutouts, not-so-great overlays, and so on. These are a few of those iterations. From a critical point of view, these need a lot more work. But the sheer absurdity of both creating and the experience of creating it is probably the real treasure in here for me.
