ALTER HOUSE COLLECTION ‘23 - EMPTY SPACE: FORM
In Joana’s collection “Empty Space: Form’’, Joana works with photographs of her own body as if it is more than just the physical form we see. The clothing she wears becomes as empty as the white wall behind her. Joana seeks to explore what it means to be a part of the world as a human
and how our bodies create boundaries that confine our actions and movements to a particular shape. In other words, there is no part of us that exists beyond these confines. However, when we step outside of these boundaries, color outside the lines, this empty space around us can be embodied as something tangible and meaningful. These empty spaces then become vivid and affirmed components of reality.
