THE WARRIORS WITHIN COLLECTIVE

This image is about a journey of transformation from Maiden to all-seeing Mother, or the Life/Death/Life Cycle of being, of manifestation, of transcendence. The thread of life, that which links this world to the other world and all beings, links consciousness to the thread of one's soul and to one's body ...

 Clark’s work is inspired by black culture & history, new worlds, and futuristic life. Her work is often magical and places black people in scenes that they’ve been historically left out of....

Each episode of the VAST series will be centered around one or more related conditions or aspects of ADHD. While bringing these into awareness, I am equally aiming to show that while everyday life may be that much more difficult, the rewards can be equally that much sweeter. My hope within the series is to embrace the good, the bad, the ugly, and the brilliant parts of my own VAST brain; and of yours too. I hope that everyone....

My yearning for stability is embodied within the exploration of the human form in a three-dimensional space. Every minute of our lives is spent in physical and psychological dialogue with the space around us and the contorted bodies within these oversaturated three dimensional spaces have been transmogrified towards semi-abstraction mimicking hard ceramic surfaces...

 As a child, when I watched films about people with cancer, I thought "no, this will definitely not happen to me."  It seemed to be something that happens only in films, permanent, not amenable to treatment, and taking away all the beauty and vitality...

 "A vast landscape steeped in secrets and mysteries populates the art of Catharina Suleiman."

Through her gaze, the language of the human body leaps to the eye, revealing different forms, senses, gestures, and appeals of the soul. Any notion of truism is put on the sidelines. It is important to know...

 Everything has worsened. The old pillars have collapsed, and new ones have not been found. We can’t think of anything better than blaming ourselves for what’s happening, for being in a precarious situation again. And instability, as we know, is the way to development and change. But also to crisis. How to get out of this spiral? Where it is unclear and frightening - to try new things. To suspend the program of destruction in oneself is to stop the program of destruction of everything around: humanity and humanness...

This series of portraits is about silent thoughts, the ones you have with yourself and that are not shared. This work shows a way to discover hidden thoughts, a door that opens itself to unveil what questions a current mood triggers in a person. While two characters of this series ask themselves: “where are you?” or “where are we?” the third portrait has he answer: “I am here.” As a statement, this is as an invitation to leave nostalgia behind and to go ahead... 

From the ashes of Infinity we came

And to the ashes of Infinity we shall return

Cycling on from one womb to another

Birthing and Rebirthing ourselves into Being...

There are myths about photographs taking a piece of the subject's soul. I once worked with a photographer who claimed to capture souls for a price. On a website recently, I saw a man argue that being photographed too often can lead to demonic possession due to soul theft. Bits and pieces of this mythology float around, and I hear snippets of it from photographers across different continents, read it in the biographies they place on their websites.

When I began modeling full time, I'd read these types of anecdotes in articles online and seen the message appear in novels, films, small niche internet forums. They are looking at me, and I am being looked at...

Suddenly I was not able to use my camera any longer.  I could not get up and down easily to shoot the flower images, for one thing, and my shoulder injury left me unable to focus the camera while holding it still.  And I needed a stem cell transplant, meaning I would have no immune system and literally couldn’t leave my house for six months.  Then COVID hit and six months turned into twelve...

 You don’t search for something you already have. 

You cannot be who you truly are until you can remember, what you already know. Upon the remembering, the ancestors will be able to intervene in all the good ways they can.  That includes helping you with all the things you cannot know about until you have allowed yourself to be swallowed in the awakening of remembering, your wildish sacred nature, a  woman. The wild woman is an endangered species, and more necessary now than ever.  Remembering means...

 My surrealist language is free from reason and it takes the photographic medium out of its conventional objective role, offering bizarre realities that often invite interpretation. With visual delicacy, dreamy atmosphere, and disturbing charge as ingredients, I distort and bend the idea of beauty, fusing it with a sense of the grotesque....

Being engaged in the creation of creative projects, you often have to confront the "whole world" in order to get the result. Starting with the struggle with ourselves, pushing away your laziness...

I'm breaking up into reflections 

They're all around me

I fall into reflections 

They surround me

I'm scared to believe

What is the world of condemnation and encouragement 

Enclosed in myself...
