 Soft Fictions


My first foray into the medium of photomontage, Soft Fictions comprises 13 fictional landscapes that I created between 2013 & 2014 for my senior thesis exhibition at Pratt Institute. Fixated on the concept of “utopia,” I strove to realize picturesque worlds that only existed in my imagination. I was also influenced by the Italian Renaissance’s color palettes and themes of idealism.

Utopia is so emotional.
— Lisa Robertson, "Magenta Soul Whip," 2005
