IMPULSIONS
SOLO SHOW, 2022
IN A FORCED STATE OF STILLNESS AND SOLITUDE, “IMPULSIONS” EMERGED UNCONTROLLABLY THROUGH A SERIES OF ACTIONS THAT EXTERNALIZED AN INTERNAL STATE OF MIND. A COPING MECHANISM THAT PROVIDED ME WITH COMFORT IN TIMES OF TURMOIL.
THE EXHIBITION IS THE OUTCOME OF THIS PROCESS THAT BEGAN IN EARLY 2021, WITH A SERIES OF FORMS UNFOLDING IN ONE CONTINUOUS ACT THAT SPANNED OVER A YEAR. THE WORK PRESENTED FAVORS A FLUID, IMPULSE-DRIVEN APPROACH WHERE THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND ANXIETIES PROJECT ONTO SHEETS OF PAPER WITHOUT ANY INTENTION TO CONFORM TO PRE-ESTABLISHED MODES OF REPRESENTATION.
THIS ACT RECLAIMED MY INTRINSIC NATURAL TENDENCIES AS THE MAIN DRIVE FOR MY EXPRESSION. THE IMAGES TRANSCENDED REALITY AND BECAME AN ESCAPE TO ONE OF THEIR OWN.
THE EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS A FRAGMENT OF THESE IMPULSES IN A CHRONOLOGICAL PROGRESSION FROM JANUARY 2021 TO MARCH 2021 AND INVITES VISITORS TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACT IN SPACE.
