FAMILY ALBUM

“This is a show about SIMPLICITY.
The simplicity of relationships.
Relationships of love, shapes, colors and composition.
However, all that is simple is equally complex.

So, I lied.

This is a show about COMPLEXITY.
The complexity of existing AND interacting.
The complexity of attempting simplicity.”

FAMILY ALBUM is a show about loved ones, complexity of relationships, (mis) communication and expectations of giving and receiving care. About the construction of the self and the other within these relationships.

I chose to focus on the Big Shapes and to take them through a complex process of analysis and elimination, making their lines sometimes hard, soft, curved or angular, until they found their purity.

The simplicity of the Composition relied on balancing the ‘positive and negative’ spaces, creating interesting tensions that were given equal importance.

Colors were chosen to evoke emotions. Harmony, unification, brilliancy and focal points were created and regulated by them. As the colors vibrate in our brains, they bring forth real and constructed memories.
