The ethereal undertones of the X-Ray collection prompt an introspective response in the viewer. By juxtaposing images of beautiful young women against those of skulls, Joseph encourages the contemplation of the concepts of impermanence, transformation and the passage of time. The skulls appear to merge, or emerge, from the females' delicate, slightly translucent faces, creating spectral depth and emphasising a sense of dimensional shift.

The anaglyph form lends itself to the themes Joseph is exploring in this collection as it reinforces ideas of transition between the physical and ethereal. The innocence of the females’ soft skin contrasts against the transience of the timeworn surface of the skull, inviting the viewer to see multiple realities. The duality within these artworks allows Joseph to explore themes of identity, memory and illusion whilst experimenting with his own innovative artistic style to create dynamic and immersive work.
