Opaque Mirror, 2017, single-channel video, 14:38 minutes.
Opaque Mirror is based on fantasies of the short time Paul Gauguin traveled to Panama. The story satirically examines the artists search for subjects, “primitive” life and racial purity as described in letters to his wife and his book Noa Noa, within a diverse Caribbean topography. Opaque Mirror, is a playful imagining of what might have been the stories of the women who were his muses
