“I don't want you to see what it looks like; I just want you to know that I have it.”
In my work titled 'I don’t want you to see what it looks like; I just want you to know that I have it', I explore the concept of censorship as such. I analyze what censorship actually is, why we use it, and how we apply it in both the analog and digital worlds. I have found that censorship is no longer necessarily about hiding a flaw or nudity; over time, it has become a certain mark of prestige—I have something worth hiding.
From my perspective, the entire situation is absurd—ranging from building walls in front of house windows, to pixelating brands in TV shows that are built on those very brands, to censoring children on Instagram. It is no longer 'cool' to show the world everything; we only want the world to know that we have something to hide.
