The Age of Invisibility asks at what happens when people begin to feel less visible as they age. Using layered and altered glass, alongside self-portrait and mirror, the work optically disrupts how an image is seen. The surface obscures and fragments the image, so the figure is never fully clear or fixed, instead changing according to the viewer’s position and perspective.

The work focuses particularly on women in midlife, where visibility in society often starts to fade despite continued presence. Suspended acetate panels combine the artist’s self-portrait with text which reflects experiences of being overlooked or dismissed.

A grid of forty-nine self-portraits, submitted through an open call, brings these experiences together. Made up mostly of women who responded to the theme of feeling unseen, the images sit side by side, showing people who are visible, but often rarely noticed.

It asks whether invisibility is shaped by a culture that prioritises youth, leaving ageing women increasingly unseen.
