Carlos David Gonzalez
Personae II (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Personae II is an exploration of how the human spirit, as
expressed through dreams, fantasy, and imagination, can
endure and transcend to provide perspective on the lived
experiences. For this installment, David collaborated with
a diverse group connected through the overarching theme
of conflict and trauma. Working with stigmatized and
marginalized groups, David aims to open a new path for
dialog between the spectator and the subject, an
opportunity for the participants to express and explore,
as well as bring attention to critical social issues through
the generation of fictionalized content.
