WELCOME! :)
I'm MXNGO! I'm an interdisciplinary artist creating in many mediums such as: endurance based performance, analog and digital photography, as well as rendered digital imagery.
Here I will feature snippets of work I have made and the concepts behind them.
LAYING BARE
This new series in my body of work is titled Laying Bare, in which I embark on my own journey to figure out all the ways I can be vulnerable. In doing so, I am not only being vulnerable with myself but am choosing to radically show those who view my work myself as my most vulnerable.
BURDENS
In my series Burdens, I express my inner struggles through physicality, intentionally leading to failure. This symbolic outcome reflects the difficulty of handling other people's emotional burdens and underscores the limits of my own emotional capacity. By purposefully allowing these performances to end in failure, I'm exploring the complex balance between maintaining my emotional well-being and supporting others through their emotional struggles.
SAFE SPACES
Safe Spaces is an ongoing series of digital collages that serve as psychological escapes from emotional weight. As an emotional outlet for others, I lacked my own release until I began constructing these layered spaces. Each collage reflects my desire to break free from emotional constraints and the burden of carrying others' weight, offering a place where I can finally feel safe.
