LOUDER
Video Art
Each video art series explores the artist’s ongoing search for voice, a process of listening, understanding, and strengthening it as life presents challenges and tests. Jazmín, the artist’s alter ego, once confined to the books, becomes lively, bold, and real.
Using paper, video clips, clay, and photocopied backgrounds, the artist employs animation and typography, echoing the style of old films, to bring Jazmín’s voice playfully to life.
Some clips may contain coarse language, nudity, depictions of violence, or references to suicide.
Viewer discretion is advised.
