Amongst Us: A Digital Collage Exhibition

The Gallery - #artstackartist #artstackcreators

Amongst Us is more than just a collection of digital collages, it’s a reflection of the world I see, the histories we carry, and the emotions we navigate every day. Each piece is layered with meaning, pulling from cultural memory, music, and the raw energy of survival. I created this series as a way to explore the tension between being seen and unseen, between presence and erasure. Through Shuffles and Picsart, I blended textures, colors, and imagery to tell stories that feel both deeply personal and collectively understood. This collection is an invitation, to witness, to feel, and to reflect on what it means to exist amongst us.

Creating Amongst Us was an emotional and intuitive process, one that allowed me to translate unspoken narratives into visual form. This collection isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about remembrance, resistance, and the in-between spaces where identity is shaped. Some of these pieces carry the weight of history, while others pulse with the energy of the present. They all speak to the ways we navigate culture, survival, and selfhood.

Sharing this collection feels like offering a piece of my own journey, one marked by reflection, truth-telling, and artistic exploration. I hope these works spark something in you, whether it’s recognition, curiosity, or a deeper conversation. Thank you for being here, for witnessing, and for engaging with the stories woven into each piece.
