I'm Dissolved 2 captures emotional disintegration photography in singular form—body appearing absorbed by its own affect, overwhelmed by late and inexperienced love. Rey confronts intimacy's paradox: the deeper the internal fantasy, the more unreal the external world becomes. The photograph renders love not as union but as destabilization, identity thinning under the weight of projection and desire that cannot be reconciled with public reality.
An insipid notion (The astonished world) is a collection of unreal experiences caused by the feeling of late and inexperienced love, and the inability to fully know the experience of love open to the world, public, without shame. "The lover is then separated from the world, he un realizes it because he fantasizes, on the other hand, the adventures or utopias of his love; he surrenders to the Image, in relation to which everything disturbs him" (Lacan)
