Works by Sandra Arriaga

In her photography exhibition 2321 N. MoodySandra Arriaga documents her parents in their shared household and at their work. Blank expressions blend into one another as they go through the motions of their daily activities. Fatigue permeates and overwhelms and her photographs reveal their drive to survive, overshadowing any potential interaction within their family and surroundings. There is always a measured distance tangible, both physically and emotionally in her observations of their coexistence through the camera. A shadow following her parents around, capturing these photographs, she finds a way to surreptitiously spend time with them.
