glowing angels

glowing angels

"glowing angels" is an intimate archival intervention that interrogates the performativity of female identity within the digital sphere. Revisiting a personal archive of photographs from her teenage years, the artist systematically erases her own figure, replacing the physical body with a spectral, glowing void.

These silhouetted absences are overlaid with fragments of personal journal entries, transforming the images into a dialogue between the visual memory of "girlhood" and the internal reality of growing up online. The text scrutinizes the societal and digital pressures of transitioning into a "proper" woman, revealing the friction between the curated cyber-existence of the past and the complex, often painful process of maturation. By obscuring the subject, the work universalizes the experience of digital adolescence, presenting the "angel" not as a fixed identity, but as a ghostly, liminal space of becoming.
