SANTOS
An exploration of light meeting the dark, food vs. poison, joy mixing with fear. Re-configured narratives and dichotomies convey the negotiated hybrid of the two. The iconic weight and mass suggest stability and permanence, but simultaneously reference transience and erosion – as these masses of figure and form move, migrate, and subtly carve the land. Within this installation, I welcome and celebrate the play between lived experience and invented truths alluding to the disintegration of memory through intentional fragmentation, and the specific emphasis on identity, the uprooted ‘self’ and definitions of ‘home’– one that becomes a temporarily crystallized archive to be revisited, until dissolved.
