Maria’s rendered emotions are translated through the photomontages uncovering the willingness to get out of confinement. Gathering thoughts, collecting ideas, & illustrating emotions. Patches and dispatches of constructed and deconstructed images & textures become louder, giving rise to a forgotten story. These animated photo-montages reflect a surface of fleeing moments of escape.
