Piece description from the artist
When walking in Williamsburg it's hard not to be overwhelmed by the obvious gentrification that has impacted the area, so I try to keep my eyes peeled for things not exactly of the desired aesthetic. This is one of those shots. A collage of stickers on this mirror developed over time by those that have passed through the ever changing area. Bright sunlight reveals hope is ever present in this Brooklyn town.
Vanessa 'Venusian' Edwards is a Brooklyn-based visual artist, photographer, and Temple alumna who thrives on color, concept, and creativity. Through visually stimulating editing, she loves to emphasize the aspect of story and human emotion in any single photograph. Her favorite saying regarding her work is "human emotion is a lost art", which is something she aims to capture in every shot. As creative director and co-curator of the New York Art Collective and 1/2 of the creative team Sickly Particular, she is an active participant and driver of the arts community in Brooklyn. Her debut solo show, "She's Damaged" was an incredible success which has motivated her to continue her own creative projects and collaborations as well as curating other group shows.
