ROLES

• Multimedia Work
• Installation Artist

OVERVIEW

Collaborative exhibition by Sometimes Art House examining how media shapes identity. My contribution combined video, photography, and graphic design to explore themes of self-perception within a shared gallery space.

APPROACH

Installation videos, printed photography and design work functioned independently and as part of a larger exhibition. I also produced a promotional video for the event.

OUTCOME

The work contributed to a multi-artist exhibition that encouraged reflection on identity and media presence, situating personal work within a broader cultural context.

Photography

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 depression?
