2016Jury

The “Post” series is an attempt to reconcile the past and the present. In 2013, the artist had a brush with death and the feeling that the sense of reality had become vague for her. Following this accident, she went through many adversities: surgery, depression, anxiety. These photographs are a way to aesthetically address her fears. “Post” is a project on trauma, deadly gloom, silence and tension. Everyone can relate to this work, unearthing their dreams, fears and obsessions.
