Detachment
Chicken Wire, Plaster, Acrylic Paint & Glue
Detatchemt aims to express internal repressed emotions of pain towards something people can relate to and that I can use as a form of visual healing. This object takes different forms of separation that have manifested in my life, such as the separation from my home country, separation from my family, and the separation of my parents. This intrusive and somewhat dangerous object is meant to be in your way, like how nostalgia and the feeling of physically being separated are intrusive and difficult to overcome.
– Rafaela Astudillo
