Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photography)

My dad denied his heritage throughout my childhood and into my adult life. My work is a navigation of the generational tension that affects my understanding of his past; growing up in Pinochet's military dictatorship in Chile. This series is based on the arpilleras—scraps of fabric sewn together by Chilean women into depictions of the atrocities they were enduring, in order to communicate their shared suffering with each other and the outside world. I am interested in the dual nature of both storytelling and materiality, which has translated into a body of work that explores the retelling of stories and questions the physicality and materiality of image making.
