SCARS OF MEMORY

SCARS OF MEMORY, Itineracy 2015

Valencia (Spain Dec 2014 I Feb 2015); Historic City of Viseu (POR March l May);  Sintra (POR Sept l Nov).

This environmental art for collective consciousness aims to confront traditional notions of “spectatorship,” promoting involvement over complacency and conveying a collective call to action. Juxtapositions of mediums, content, scale, forced perspectives and changes in cadence and flow are encouraging viewers to become both physically and psychologically aware of their own roles as “spectators” — symbolic of a greater need for action in the pursuit of consciousness to loss, trauma, and human resilience.
