 “My work is a mirror of self, of transformation, and of the deep desire to belong somewhere, even if that place is still unfolding. I explore internal conflicts of isolation, longing, and transformation. The figures and forms I paint occupy quiet, suspended moments caught between realities, drifting through dreamlike, fragmented spaces. They reach, dissolve, and shift within liminal environments, always on the edge of becoming or unraveling. This reflects my own in-between state of knowing and unknowing, stillness and restlessness. Through layered imagery and obscured narratives, I explore how the self evolves over time and how to make sense of my own internal landscape. Every element, from the floating figures to ambiguous settings and recurring symbols like cakes, plants, and birds, represents a visual language that speaks to instability and impermanence. In Still, Life, a potted plant becomes a quiet marker of time and memory, suggesting the subtle ways life moves forward. Fragmented areas of color interrupt the space, revealing traces of layers beneath the surface. Leaves appear disconnected from its surroundings, frozen somewhere between thought and gesture, never fully present. The exposed layers, broken forms, and shifting space reinforce a sense of impermanence.” -Jennifer Agricola Mojica
