Artwork
Ñew York features three photographs by Sol Aramendi. Aramendi says of her work:
"I choose to look through the lens in order to see.
The language of photography helps me understand how I position myself in the
world, where I’ve come from and where I might go next.
In my pictures I am exploring psychological
impressions of my life of 'Being Solo' in New York. I construct scenes that
translate the processes and obsessions I go trough my life here with the
uncertain hope of bringing some light of understanding to my obscure
self."
