Dazed & Confused
Artist Statement
Dazed & Confused deals with childhood memories and experiences with my family.
Celebrating holidays always ended in chaos. Heartaches, monsters in my closet, being seen as prey, the confusion I felt about holidays, secular and religious. Countless traumatic experiences resulting in innocence lost.
Using soft colors draws the viewer in for a closer look. The images evoke feelings of nostalgia before revealing the message of bitter-sweet memories and the vulnerability of being a child.
