Terra Incognita... The introspective journey

It is through Olga Gabrielle’s personal immersive experience into the barren landscape of Aruba that allowed for the release to take place of the drama and heaviness that can be the result of modern existence. Upon these shores, among the majestic rock formations, and caressed by the trade winds and ocean spray, she initiated a ceremony where the ritualized immersion into this landscape allowed for introspection, release and renewed sense of belonging. Within this archaic landscape and facing the vastness of the open ocean she allowed her inner self to be manifest. It is this deeper connection induced by natural environment that forms the source of what she aims to express with her imagery. An imagery that encompasses contrasting elements such as primeval landscape and impermanence of human existence, Forces of nature and the fragility of the human body, immersion and refusal, as well as identity and anonymity.
