Frames explores the fact that, even though we are able to capture every moment, we have actually lost a lot. Appearance has become a measure of self-worth. People can have multiple web pages on sites like Facebook and Myspace, displaying profiles that they can manipulate to promote themselves globally. A century ago photographs were rare, prized objects. Today technology has made them commonplace, devalued, devoid of meaning. The frame's constant shifting is connected to that lack of inner clarity. The film format only adds to the depreciation of photography.
