katincognito is a photographer and multi-media artist. Using a unique mix of photography, painting and textiles, she captures the delicate balance between personal vulnerability and the natural world through intimate, unrefined moments. katincognito's work is a reminder to reflect on the beauty in fragility, offering a dreamlike and powerful exploration of sentiment, nature, and existence. Manic is a collection born from impulse. Surrendering to instinct over intention, the series is gritty and emotionally immediate. Photos once hoarded and unseen are given freedom in defiance of overthinking. Manic is ultimately an unfiltered moment of expression.
"Kat Incognito, multi-hyphenate of vying interests, explores the abject melancholy of an all-consuming girlhood. Her proclivity for high-contrast images creates a lingering depressive patina, at odds with her ingenue subjects on the cusp of adulthood. Motifs of pressed flowers, cityscapes, diffused focus, floods of magenta, and fingertips slipping in pans of Lurex eyeshadow are scattered throughout her work. The vulnerability is discomforting, but her unstudied style loosens the burden of self-objectification." - Marianne Astrid Close
