In the photographs of this montage, she has people photographed with marks, and scars on their body that represent, in my own opinion, the individual issues that each of these people have that obstruct their own finding of love. The piece is called “looking for love” and the marks on each of them reflect on the fact that everyone has issues with searching for love, and the difficulties, the consequences, and the reactions of such a difficult thing to find. Personally, being that I used to identify with this subject specifically, I find a strong and powerful reaction to this work, but it can also be looked at with a slight twist. I think that the marks and burns can represent the internal self trying to break out, as if it was someone completely different, like in my case. I also feel that my subject matter reflects and responds to everyone, and that they can relate somehow to an alternative or internal struggle. This piece seems to tell that the internal struggle is love, and that it is trying to break out, to show the true person inside. We are all broken people inside, and we try to hide that, however, this piece shows that searching for love involves and is directly related to the broken person inside of yourself. That person needs to be realized as much as the exterior person. This whole idea can be directly related to my own work about identity, which is why I feel this piece is so strong and powerful.
