Rhaz Oriente’s ontological treatment of Memory as an Archipelago, Time as the Eraser reveals her process in which an idea materializes from inception, to production, then presentation.

​

For this exhibition, she focuses her lens on the multifaceted nature of time. Fragments of memories from eras gone by, what could have been, an imagined timeline, the naked truth, and visions of a future that is bound to happen are woven on pictographic tapestries as vast as the sea; that she both visualizes in a new light and contains in honor of what was once unreclaimed by human machinations.

​

In the space that Oriente’s work will occupy, one will be welcome to experience and converse about how dense time really is and navigate it properly. Memory will serve as a map, moving images will be a guide to remembering (or forgetting), and portals to switch to an alternate reality will be available.
