RESIDENT 2023
Carla Aparicio
MEXICO
My approach is centered on the exploration and revelation of the depth that lies beyond the obvious. I use my camera and lens to draw closer, to see a little deeper, to seek intimacy and interconnection with the living world I need in order to create. Nature is my canvas, and I photograph it from different angles because I’m interested in understanding the diversity within the layers of existence. I’m drawn to elevated perspectives and light portals, and to sacred geometry, which I have instinctively sought throughout my career.
My images and projects are the manifestation of the mission my soul seeks: to transcend and evolve beyond the personal. Inner searching and introspection have guided me in connecting and creating between the bi- and three-dimensional; collaborations have been the path that has responded to this ongoing search, allowing for enriching human interconnection and a vision that goes beyond the self.
My creations reflect abstraction, rupture, shedding of skin, roots, impermanence, somatization, repair, a return to the essential, constant transformation, and untimely evolution.
