I manipulate photographs of daily violent news in a way that makes the moment; frozen by the photo-journalist’s lens, melt again. The photograph intermixed with purposeful slashes and strokes punctuate the composition with broken shards and a fragmented imagery that blend regardless of time and form. Taken out of the black & white columns, print and headlines, the photograph now takes its reference from and has its bearing in the energy and the suggestive potentiality of color.
