Limbo & Averno (Series)
DESCRIPTION
These mixed media photogtaphy series, are born from the need to translate a condition into an image by being the “storyteller” which reaches to the viewer through relatability, either through a fairytale or a nightmare I allow the eye of the beholder to fill in the blanks and add a conclusion to that intimate moment. Limbo and Averno are intended to express how chronical pain is lived and endured, and also how it transitions from one state of the brain to the next. Chronical pain can be physical or emotional, the environment changes the same way and it does not understands the difference. The red element symbolizes the pain, the altered condition which is in one way or the other, always present, sometimes defeated and sometimes endured, but always there.
Within all my work, the presence of melancholy, desire, undisclosed secrets and inconclusive stories are what moves me to create an environment and a language that can speak from that scenery into the Soul of the viewer. The element of mystery allows to bring a small glimpse into a more hopeful state and a bliss of relief.
