Molly R. Shires and Layla Itzxochitl Morales' photographs investigate the Surreal Abstractions of life. Shires’ composites present a false reality by merging multiple edited photographs to create imagery that would not otherwise exist in real life. Morales’ self-portraits that explore the inner turmoil of the transgender experience through photomontages that distort herself from reality to address subject matter such as identity and visceral emotions. Diving into the uncanny, their artworks explore the hidden interconnection of human emotions.
