About Me

A world of images I find daily inside of old books that come across my way re-etches itself inside my memory and I recreate it, wanting to give each image a new name, an other meaning. This imagined world becomes my series "The Name Given".Each of these images I select and isolate, scan, collage digitally and print on paper that I make by hand. The name that titles each of them I cut from one dictionary of computing I once stumbled upon.My name is Aydasara. Welcome to my world. The symbolThe detailedThe precise choiceThe wideThe removal
