Artist’s Statement

by Jamie Azevedo

Anchoresses by Jamie Azevedo

I am constantly thinking about the human condition, the world we inhabit, and how we think we exist. Are there boundaries between here and there, us and them, or then and now? In observing our world, I believe deeply in the interconnectedness of everything. I abstract photographs to portray one simple thought: nothing we encounter goes untouched. Each image asks this question: Will you uplift our world or injure it?

Jamie creates to start a conversation with the viewer about empathy, compassion, and a knowledge that we affect each other and our world deeply, and hopefully meaningfully.
