ōrāclum

Ōrāculum is a collection of photographic sculptures, suspended woven forms and photographic prints shown as an exhibition. Working with a Holga camera as my companion, I capture the past, present, and future possibilities of self. Pushing the use of motion blur and low lighting, dreamy environments are conjured with a heavy focus on the figure. Using the camera's ability to create a connection between my internal world of emotion and my physical reality, representations of past and future possibilities are fabricated. Held present by woven structures, versions of myself are created and repaired, as I explore and accept my unresolved identity as a neurodivergent person. Oraculum offers viewers the opportunity to reflect on their past memories, current self and utilize them to craft a desired future.
