These pieces are from two different, but similar, bodies of work. The red\/pink pieces are from &#8220;Deconstruction&#8221;, and the more sculptural works are from her ongoing series titled, &#8220;The Constructed Self&#8221;. So, why does she slice and dice her portrait photography? I&#8217;ll let Karen explain:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I depart from stereotypical photographic portraits of subjects to render them through constructive and deconstructive methods. To disrupt photography&#8217;s flat, two-dimensional surface I cut and reassemble the images to build sculptures and collages. I use photography as the basis for the three-dimensional objects as a means to challenge our visual perception. Often implying that identity is, in fact, a social construct while also engaging with notions of existentialist.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; View this post on Instagram &nbsp; A post shared by Karen Navarro (@karennavarroph) on Mar 5, 2020 at 4:30pm PST You hit play on that video, right?
