    Gabrielle Andreozzi: capstone
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2021) Andreozzi, Gabrielle, artist
    The artist's statement: Motions of the unsaid: a series of the self. Spending a year in pandemic has been cause for much self-reflection and reinvention of the self. Forced solitude, manifested both physically and mentally, caused me to realize how uncomfortable with introspection and out of touch with myself I had become. Over the course of a single year, I have gone through more change within my reality than I have in my entire life. I have always been inspired by the way photographic imagery can capture a moment in time that is much too fleeting to be perceived by the naked eye. With one burst of a shutter, these snapshots can be frozen in time, existing past the moment and into the future - forgetting the specificity but remembering and honoring what was and has been. The self-portraiture within this series captures my subconscious experience of growth and emergence through everything I have gone through as a young woman - a visual exploratory event of the transformation unfolding within me that I have not had the words to express. The ambiguous and ever flowing nature of my being is something that I have come to embrace - every beautiful moment I wish I could live in forever, every painful moment when my heart has hurt more than I could have ever imagined - no longer trying to battle against their remembrance out of fear of exposing myself and my vulnerability. These are the motions of my metamorphosis.
