Artists statement
I knew I really wanted to take something from the short story Sabrina and Corina, that one just struck me as very heart breaking and I could see all of it so vividly in my head. I think the part where Sabrina was finding this to be a humorous story and Corina was horrified by it just shows the two different worlds these girls were living in. I could feel the pain Corina was going through where she grew up with her cousin and loved her so much but the two girls priorities and lives took them in two different directions. I felt the kind of guilt Sabrina might have felt for not being able to help her cousin even though it’s out of her control. I was struggling with coming up with an idea but this passage was very vivid.
I think the images I chose in the background felt so cold and empty. It reminded me of the kind of night where people are just making decisions that they know aren't good for their well-being. It kind of just represents self-destruction and not really thinking into the future.
I wanted to retouch on the collage portion of the semester because I did an analog collage for that project. I wanted to give digital collage a try.
