The Spy
[2022] - Dear Moon, Zalfa Halaby GalleryThis painting marks the beginning of my attempt at capturing digital colors on canvas. Drawing on the intensity, brightness and saturation of screen imagery, I wanted to illustrate the leak of those colors into our everyday lives. In this work we see a girl reflecting on what womanhood is, in an era oversaturated by imagery. She is looking at multiple reflections of herself: A mirror, her phone screen, a Barbie, a Virgin Mary candle, a skeleton figure, mannequin hands, and a painting of Picasso “Two Women Running On The Beach (The Race). These various representations surround her, while her own figure spills beyond the frame.
