This is Edmin. I bumped into her the other day.It’s not often you see this hair style in a small town. I was immediately attracted by her hairstyle. ” I have had this style for 14 years.” she told me .
“I came here one year ago. I was an artist , a graphic designer in Puerto rico. Now I’m studying English.
She had a photography exhibition in Puerto rico. The exhibition’s title is ¡Dejame ser!/ Let me be! She took pictures of women work at bar or strip club. ” The photographic documentation inspired by the poem “Redondillas” by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. In resume this feminist poem is about how the woman supposed have to be. If we does right thing or bad thing; no matter what we’re doing always we receive bad critics. The question is why, if his critic is the insist to we act.My pieces are mixed media; digital photography and graphic art printed on vinyl, canvas and sticker vinyl. I selected verses of the poem and I assigned to women they fulfilled that stereotype. In photography you will see the verse and character.”
“My dream is to open a gallery here, people can come see artworks and meet artists. Maybe your work will be there.”
I really love the concept of her exhibition, I wish I could see it here in her gallery one day!
