#LifeLately

An Exhibition by Laura Atria

Building on Atria’s passion for storytelling through visual art, her newest series #LifeLately delves into voyeurism and the depiction of human vulnerability while also reflecting on the community’s story & history. Atria used tagged images on social media to create the painted imagery on exhibit. This community engagement project invited Broward County residents and visitors to take and post photos of their own voyeuristic experiences around town. It is her hope for this series to capture the day-to-day beauty of life through your eyes and experiences and to look at the world with new eyes. Encouraging everyone to view daily living experiences with romance and chance.
