Abstract

I curated an exhibition, consisting of 18 newly made images, all utilizing 35mm film. I also created an installation piece, consisting of a bed, to further push the messaging with this body of work. I also created and performed a performance piece, referencing my depressions and growing up discovering my true identity. I investigated my identity, my traumas and how my hardships have contributed to my character in my 23 years of living. I created this work to be a continuation of my body of work I showed at PNCA in March, “love letters in las vegas,” a collection of work that was a love letter to the people, places and things that kept me alive, this body of work, “burning pages in las vegas,” is connecting the things that tried to kill me.
