We evaluate our world based on results, but we often fail to see the movements comprising each action that create these results. Movements are transitory and ephemeral, lost in time and always progressing. The movement never really ends. This new series of work entitled Manifest Ephemeral by Ophelia Jacarini captures movements; suspending choreography and dance into sculptural installation and photography.

Ophelia’s work brings to light the female experience. She was awarded the Eaton Award at the Human Rights Arts Prize in 2018 for her series “Blooming” where the female figure is woven by thread, with each stitch strengthening the whole. The thread entwined together brings the female body to life, radiating outwards, authentic and open. While using seemingly delicate material, Ophelia’s work is a representation of the resilience that is the female body. Manifest Ephemeral is an exhibition of her process driven research which started during her residency at Eaton DC in 2018.
