Red Dot Show
Victoria Rodriguez, Isolation, 2020. Prismacolor on paper, 11.5 x 14. “While being in isolation for so long, I’ve begun to feel a little out of my mind mentally, and my dreams have become more vivid. It feels like my mind is stretched thin and exhausted. Contrasting those feelings with bright colors associated with more positive feelings, I feel will draw the viewer’s attention to my work.”
