GLITCH 2022 - Ongoing
REMEMBER TO SMILE
REMEMBER TO SMILE
Over time, I realized that broken things are not easy to put back together. In September 2014, I broke my front teeth and years later, due to my dentist's negligence, my smile still hasn't been fixed.
'Glitch' investigates the pain of healing when you know something was not done as it should have been. Reviewing those hours spent trusting and listening to someone who should have known what they were doing, and instead of helping, only caused more pain.
Between anger and frustration, this project became a way to talk about those who were hurt and not treated properly, those who were broken and left alone.
With a tireless desire to search for the feelings behind stories and trauma I find myself investigating another story of my life trying to explain and unfold it, to understand and share it.
Translating facts into metaphorical images and an online platform, I begin to shape this experience by researching it in what I have experienced and in the stories of others.

‘The Hellenistic figure Hermes Trismegistus wrote:
That which Below corresponds to that which is Above
And that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below
To accomplish the miracles of the One Thing
As above, So below marks the second chapter in the Fools journey. 'The Fool' is a guide and reminder to wear our open hearts. As we begin refining our practices, old links gradually fade and make space for new connections. We have constructed a network of interconnected individual works where materiality shifts between the fragile and the solid. We invite our audience to shape their interpretations and interrelations to create new paths of understanding.
By embracing, we allow alignments of elements. Immaterial and material, from our different positions and knowledge. All together we create stories told in various visual languages. They can produce order and new negotiated meanings. Our stories are wired in the middle but disperse their individual points, allowing them to take different turns and directions.’
