Portfolio Adriana VALAHU

A biographical portrait of self, recollecting the period of adolescence. Visual reproduction and intimate narration of absent and obscure episodes. Summoning key moments, sentiments and dynamics. Induced-escapism, self-destruction, reckless resilience. Remorseful and dismal introspection of a Self, reflecting on a past Self. The idea of illustrations on paper bags draws inspiration from the works of The Mask Series by Inge Morath and Saul Steinberg.
