Abstract

What are the necessary actions and imaginative exercises to expand the possibilities of life and negotiation as we move forward and project the future? How can we perpetuate violent histories and limit potential futures? If exposing the scandal is not enough, how can a series generate a set of different descriptions of this archive? I intend to create, with these questions in mind, a work that resembles a photo album or a relic, a place capable of storing and protecting valuable and precious items of immense value. While these stored memories can be transformed into life and existence, reconfigured images of essays aim to transcend the layers of violation and reveal a community capable of loving, being loved, celebrating, and being happy.
