Adam Lives in Theory is a series that celebrates the male form as well as a reflection on masculinity and perception. It lives in the irregular spaces between truth, expression and expectation, the carnivalesque angles of view that shift an action along the spectrum of good and evil based on ones private dialogue or motivations. In this series of nudes, the artist performatively assumes poses taken from the gestures of quotidian life before a mirror.

The mirror, like most elements in this body of work, represents more than its physical self. It stands for the manners in which we perceive ourselves but also acts as a gateway, a theme pulled from the artists childhood memories of his fathers daily prayers at his personal shrine. The shrine contained an altar and a mirror which his father would interact with in various ways from speaking to it to anointing it with various materials and powders. In this way the mirror becomes a portal to the transformative and unknown, perhaps to a different reality. Pulled between the past, the present and the future, wrapped in the possibilities of different modes of being Adam lives in this space going through the motions of life, constantly questioning his life and the lives of those around him as nothing is certain.
