Description

Khadis De la Rosa has consistently explored themes related to the construction and exercise of power, drawing from her formative experiences within a family dominated by military influence. In her series Frames, the artist spies on neighbors and documents details of their lives like a detective, challenging the boundaries of privacy in public spaces. The photographs in this album are accompanied by information that invites judgment about the lives of others, portraying them as unaware of their vulnerability and trusting in the security of their personal space.

Motivada por haber crecido en una familia de fuerte influencia militar, Khadis De la Rosa explora temas relacionados con el poder en su serie Frames.

Las fotografías del álbum se acompañan de información que invita al espectador a juzgar la vida de los otros, a quieres muestra confiados en la seguridad de su espacio personal e inconscientes de su vulnerabilidad.
