One Last Breath

Valentina García

Hi!! My name is Valentina Garcia. I was born and raised in Mexico but this is my first year as a boarder at HPA. I chose this as my project because I think this is a very personal problem , because I am constantly at risk and the fact that so many women go through this and no action is taken to resolve it and avoid it is worrying me. Also I always had an interest towards photography and art in general.

Abstract

One Last breath is series of mixed media works that combine my photographs of women at HPA, with imagery of violence against women in Mexico or with stories that describe that violence. I will be capturing portraits of women in the boarding community. My intent with this work will be to show how women feel when they encounter these violent situations and live in fear, and my goal is to promote empathy and awareness. Ultimately, these works will give a voice to women who could not fight against this problem.
