Highly Reflective
Presented by Sometimes Art House in collaboration with Cedar Street Art Collective, Highly Reflective explores how media influences identity construction and specifically showcases work by women and LGBTQ+ artists.
Photography
I take photos of close friends because it allows me to play more with creating characters for them to portray or augmenting their real-life personalities. Which is a more accurate portrait of ourselves- a "selfie", a portrait taken by a friend, or a stranger offering an objective view?
Highly Reflective Promo + Experimental Shorts
I filmed and edited a promotional video for Highly Reflective interactive gallery show. I also contributed two experimental video shorts that played in the DJ room at the show.
Graphic design
In Spanish, the phrase in this design means “Why is it so hard to forget?”, with the word “easy” reflected in the water. There is an overlap of letters between these two words- difícil (hard) and fácil (easy). It meditates on the difficulty of unlearning emotional abuse from a past relationship, while being saddened by the ease with which good memories from better romantic relationships can be easily forgotten over the years. Why is it so hard to remind ourselves we are worth love, especially during periods of deep depression?
