Home Sweet Home (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Home Sweet Home
Series, 2023
Ana Priscila Rodriguez
Home Sweet Home is based on the tale of the idealized home we all dreamed to have, or have had, how our society has established everyone should live and experience happiness. The dollhouse symbolizes this childhood innocence and the naïve thought of an absolute satisfactory existence within the perfect family pattern. These images attempt to create an alternative reality to that myth, also within a fantastic realm, but one where the reality of the hardship of life is reflected in adulthood, and the relationship of our wounded and battled grown Soul with that childhood idyllic tale, which may or may not have ever taken place. “Home Sweet Home” invites to travel through the rabbit hole of our past, stepping on trauma and dark memories, all the way back to the adult self, responsible of their past and their memories, and protector of that life, which is after all how it was meant to be regardless of their imperfection and where resilience, forgiveness and wisdom can finally be reached.
AUTHOR
Ana Priscila Rodriguez, born 1974 in Mexico City, resides in The Netherlands since 1998. Graduated
cum laude from the Academy of Fine Arts in Utrecht, specializing in Mixed Media and Photography
with background studies in History and Graphic Design.
Her photographic work is intimate, delicate and confronting. With her images she attempts to create a relatable shore for the emotional and psychological human experience. Every image is a window to a story using photography as a medium to create visuals attached to a feeling or an emotion where the viewer fills in the blanks with their own visions. The complexity of the texture and layers in her photographic work creates the illusion of an old oil painting in each of her works, giving a sense of dark melancholy, romance and drama with a tone of classic Baroque. More than a self-portrait, her work evokes everyone’s drama, journey and vulnerabilities. The story starts with her and it is followed by the story of the beholder.
She has exhibited numerous times and she has been awarded several prizes and honorable mentions in international photography competitions.
