Dreamer 09/30/20. From the series Street Errands. 2020.
“Street Errands is a series of collaged photographs that mix street scenes from New York and other parts of the US. They start from mundane
(...) encounters on everyday errands in New York, and by manipulating these images, I construct my own form of surreal escapism. I cannot travel abroad due to my visa status, so I build layers of photos or modify the original photographs to create new spaces. The manipulation of these scenes introduces infinite possibility, free from the limits or restraints of real life.
I think of these collages as paintings, and I show the post-production process as a way of showing mark-making. I aim to achieve perfection by rediscovering the possibility of merging two or more images, finding their spark, but I leave flaws in my photographs. Small imperfections are human; they are what make people attractive.”
