Bored-er

A breakdown between camera zoom and screen resolution turns national flags into a blur.

Bored-er is a digital photography piece that captures what happens when a camera zooms too close to a screen: resolution collapses, and sharp images dissolve into pixelated noise. When national flags are the subject, this visual failure becomes metaphorical—borders, like pixels, are unstable up close.

By misaligning everyday technologies, Bored-er quietly suggests that the clarity of nationhood may rely on distance—that borders, like pixels, blur when examined too closely.
