A series of 14 drawings made by cutting, enhancing and photocopying old photographs
29.7 x 21 x 0,1cm each
In a space where authority and vulnerability coexist, early experiences of harm leave indelible traces on the psyche. In Reimagining Memories, the artist begins with photographs of male figures from her past—individuals whose actions profoundly shaped her formative years.
Using deliberate techniques of cutting, fragmenting, and reprocessing through an old photocopy machine, she transforms recognizable features into enhanced abstractions. The resulting compositions resemble abstract landscapes—visual metaphors for the emotional turmoil navigated in the aftermath of complex relationships. The unique textures and forms produced by the photocopying process breathe life into the artwork, challenging viewers to see beauty in the intricate interplay of distortion and clarity, ultimately revealing the unexpected artistry inherent in the act of reproduction.
