In "Selfie Sunset (Hehe)," 2023, natural and artificial worlds overlap, as though the membrane separating the two is dangerously porous, particularly in those areas of the canvas which are almost transparent. Inspired by the view from the window of Touborg’s studio in Sydhavn, Copenhagen, the mesh column to the right represents empty space—a kind of shorthand for the void that balances the scene. The reflection of a face materialises through the orange haze—the glare of a phone doubling for the setting sun.
