Jessica’s practice analyses our everyday experiences to present personal narratives. Various happenings are performed for the camera to document the authentic human experience, evoking a heightened sense of reality. Her raw approach aims to connect the viewer through depicting familiarity and moments that often reflect on childhood. Through moving-image and photography, the artist captures a tacit sense of longing, sentimentality and togetherness.
Jessica gently invites the viewer to spectate and reflect on their own relationships to highlight our human need for belonging. This prompted introspection aims to deal with urgent matters of dysphoria, loneliness and emotional disconnect.
