Artist Statement

As a way of coping with her utter all-consuming pain after the unexpected loss of her wife, Jacqueline engaged with a hybrid process that includes both analog and digital photography. 

Hay Días Así  is autofictional therapy at its best. Each instax printed polaroid is a self-portrait taken with Jacqueline's iphone to stop her from dwelling long in crying. Each photograph is a poetic intervention that helps her to change her moods. Each snapshot allows for testing new ways of being without the presence of her beloved.  During the time of the exhibition Care~Repair at Flushing Town Hall in June, Jacqueline will add new polaroids to this collection as they come. 
 
By documenting these emotions in time and reflecting in the process of bereavement, acceptance of the traumatic events is expected.
