Mixed Media (Image Transfer, Acrylic, Passover Chocolate Bar Foil) on Paper
12 ½” x 9 ¾”
This piece is part of an ongoing series that began when I discovered how to transfer printed images using acrylic medium—a process that led me to examine not just technique, but perception. I started pulling images from the countless fashion magazines circulating in prison—magazines full of curated beauty, curated desire. I used to consume people the way I consumed these images: flat, idealized, distant. This series is my effort to reverse that—to see more honestly, and to be more real in how I relate to others.
In Detachment, I incorporated foil from a Passover chocolate bar—something only available to Jewish people during the holiday, and rare enough inside to carry real value. To receive even a piece of it is uncommon and costly. That foil became a kind of symbol for me: how something sweet, sacred, and limited becomes commodified. Much like how media transforms real people into glittering objects of desire—precious, priced, and ultimately unattainable. This piece is about that tension: between reverence and consumption, visibility and value.
