In 2017 I was invited by Nathan Abhaler Smith (director of the Roman Susan Gallery in Chicago) to participate in a project for the Historical Society - exhibition titled "Property".
The idea was to use vintage photographs from the archives of the city of Chicago and create new artworks by repurposing and citing.
I made a series of short animations and digital collages.
