Conceptual: Honorable Mention 2017 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Light,
Green,
Creaking of steps
Justified by an instrument
Sense of the meeting
Research and exploration
Of the place
Of us together…
An open window
Infinite variables
Lords of uncertainty
We ramble
Blindfolded..
My body goes outside of ordinary life
Crystallized, scared, immolated
Artistically sketched
By an external eye,
That I don’t know,
That wants to catch and change me,
Subjectively
I float in the ocean of possibilities
Losing myself
Finding myself
I reborn with a new small awareness
In this moment I step outside of the ordinary,
Outside of everyday life
Feeling a high and elusive sense
I immerse myself in a womb,
Where everything is muffle,
A quiet illusion
Like the bottom of the ocean
Why my eyes are never quiet?

She became interested in ways of thinking, feeling and acting, which as humans we tend to have naturally, but we sometimes don’t express and instead repress, causing pain and discomfort within and outside ourselves.
Photography, “the act of using the camera”, becomes performative, where art is realized exactly at the “moment” of encounter with another human being and the photographs produced are a merely documentation of that encounter. The observer becoming the observed, the mirror becoming the person reflected.
Her art practice is an investigation into the power of trust in human relationships.
“Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An Artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will
