Contagion, 2016

Miced-media print, Selfie

Print of a Roman marble bust of an unknown man, dating to the Early Imperial period (mid-1st century CE), with a peach stain, bleeding into the image, leaving a mark on history. A wound, a memory, or the quiet decay of monuments?

This could be a self-portrait, not through resemblance but through intervention. Classical busts traditionally represent idealized human forms. But introducing organic stain across the head, the work disrupts this ideal. It introduces vulnerability, imperfection, and the possibility of decay.

This image functions as a diptych with contrasting sides. A very fine marble, over a thousand years old, is juxtaposed with artificial flowers. Both materials have a life of their own, yet they age differently. One material is admired for centuries, the other becomes disposable from the moment it takes shape. The purpose of both lies in beautifying our world, whether for an instant or for eternity.

Hello! My name is sarah, and this picture was taken on June 18th, a day before my birthday. I really enjoy taking pictures like these because it shows the beauty of nature. I am someone who usually depends on the weather to brighten my day. Bright skies makes it hard to be upset, and views like this brings sense of peace and happiness. This image represents more than just a nice summer day to me. It feels like an open invitation to step out, leave my comfort zone, and explore new things. I am interested in COIL because i enjoy getting out of my comfort zone and meeting new people. I also love the idea of being able to combine two minds together and make something creative that represents both minds in one piece of art.

Hi, I’m your local furry who lives in your basement and occasionally draws and makes animations.

I’m also a video editor, which means I constantly torture myself with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

I'm also a huge fan of Hatsune Miku and sonic because I discovered free will >⩊<

I’m interested in participating in COIL because I discovered that talking to strangers online is one of the funniest things to do

(*^_^*)

Also, if you want to see more of my art check out my IG, most of what I make is posted there (/≧▽≦)/.

Hello! My name is Kara and by looking at all of the dices scattered around my image, I'm a bit of a geek. I like delving into roleplays and creative writings where I can express and share my own stories with others. If motivated, I can get really into things like video games such as Deltarune or CRK. I'm also a bit of an artist but I haven't really been drawing at a consistent rate as of this recent year.

I'm interested in the COIL because I think that it would be fun to work with other people around the world to create art. I've never been in a collaborate project as big as this one before, so I'm open to whatever will hit us all in the face when we get there.

Hello, my name is Linsey. I created this collage because I feel that one single picture cannot fully define who I am. Many of these photos include my family and friends because I am a very family-oriented person and the people in my life mean a lot to me. My dog is also very important to me, which is why I included pictures with him as well. I am from the Dominican Republic, and I am very proud of my culture, and traditions. I am also Christian, but my faith is something personal to me rather than something I practice everyday. Many of the pictures show places I have been, moments with people I care about, and everyday memories. I love taking pictures wherever I go because it allows me to capture special moments and keep those memories forever.

I am interested in the coil project because I want to get to know more about different types of cultures and what other people believe in.

Hi my names Nathaniel all of my friends call me Nate. I chose this image because I have played basketball my whole life, I’ve met some of my closest friends through basketball, gotten close with great coaches who are mentors to me on and off the court, and learned valuable life lessons. This year especially I’ve met a whole new community due to basketball I think it’s really cool how a sport can bring a whole community together. Through basketball I have learned how to work together with people I like doing group work or group projects putting minds together and contributing to something meaningful. I like art because it is a different way to express yourself you don’t have to talk you can just draw whatever you feel like.

Hello! My name is Mida, and this picture shows one of my favorite meals. It was taken during a simple breakfast that turned into a really comforting moment. The table is filled with classic breakfast foods like waffles, eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast, which together create a warm and satisfying start to the day.

Meals like this remind me how food can bring a sense of comfort and happiness, especially when you take the time to slow down and enjoy it. Breakfast has always been one of my favorite meals because it feels like a fresh beginning. This moment represents more than just eating it’s about enjoying the little things and appreciating a good meal that makes the day feel better right from the start.

Favorite meal of the day for sure.

The swimming picture with just the water makes me think about how you move through life. Water can stand for change, effort, and pushing forward. Swimming takes work, and the splashes show motion, like you don’t stay still you keep going even when things are hard. It can resonate with me as someone who keeps trying and doesn’t quit. The dragon drawing shows imagination and creativity. Dragons aren’t real, but I think they were. It resonates with me as someone who has big ideas, likes fantasy, or feels like there’s more to others than people see.

Ever since I was 10 years old, I found myself drawn to the world of horse riding. What started as a simple curiosity quickly became one of the most defining passions of my life. Equestrian sport is not just a hobby for me, it is a reflection of who I am.

Riding taught me things that no classroom ever could. It shaped my discipline, my patience, and my resilience. Every time I got on a horse, I learned to communicate without words, to stay calm under pressure, and to trust.

Through equestrian sport, I grew mentally stronger.

I choose this picture because I like dinosaurs and I find them interesting, but also because I took this picture in Berlin, and being in Berlin with my friends, meeting new people and even a new language was awesome, the 4 months I stayed in Berlin were the best time of my life, and this picture represents both of those things.

I’m interested in participating in coil because I will meet new people, and we will create something interesting, I think that know people from different parts of the world is amazing, and really interesting, I’m sure I will learn a lot of new stuff.

Hi, my name is Julieta, but my friends call me Juli. In this presentation I wanted to include some of the things I like so you can get to know me.

I included some pictures of myself because it’s also a simple way to show who I am. I also added a photo where I’m cooking pasta with some friends because I enjoy cooking and learning new things.

In one of the images I’m playing Roblox with a friend. I like video games in general, and it’s one of the ways I usually have fun with my friends.

I also included my top 4 favorite movies because I really enjoy watching films. I’m not a professional when it comes to analyzing them, but I think I give pretty good recommendations.

Lastly, I added a song from my favorite artist and a photo of my dog because animals are an important part of my life.

Overall, I’m interested in participating in the COIL project because I would like to meet people from other places and hear different perspectives.

Hi! I am Darvin. For my selfie I decided to go with goggles, watch, speaker, soccer ball and one of the things I drew recently to represent my lover for the arts. The things included in my selfie are things I did and continue to do and without them I wouldn't be who I am. I think that art comes in many different forms which makes it unique compared to other things. I am interested in participating in the COIL because I am learner, and I love to know what others can do. Additionally, I want to know what can be made when people from different backgrounds join together to achieve a common goal.

Hii! My name is Katie, and I chose this image because I feel as though music is such a big part of me. I love all kinds of music, Jazz, Pop, Indie, etc! Along with music, I also love concerts, and I always try to go to every concert of artists I enjoy. I firmly believe music plays such a significant role in my life. I've played the violin for as long as I can remember. I've never been good with words or expressing myself through them, so music has really been that outlet for me. Music can be anything you make of it, happy, sad, mellow, truly anything! There are so many forms of music, all around the world, and I believe music is a way to connect with people, no matter the language.

I am super excited to work on this COIL project because it allows us to work with people from different backgrounds, and despite the geographical difference, we can all put our creative input together and create something unique and special to us!

Hi everyone! My name is Lia, and I’m 17 years old. My family is from the Dominican Republic but I was born in Boston, Massachusetts. My photos represent me because I love to travel! It’s something I hope to dedicate a majority of my life to. One of my favorite things about traveling is seeing the beautiful architecture in different countries, especially all over Europe. So far, I’ve been to many of the 50 states in the United States and have visited 5 other countries; Canada, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom, Italy, and France. I hope to continue expanding that list in the near future. I love experiencing different cultures and seeing how people around the world live. Traveling allows me to experience these cultures hands on, which is something I truly enjoy and value. I also dream of becoming an architect. Seeing the different styles and methods of building across cultures inspires me to think more creatively instead of sticking to the building designs that are common in my area. One day, I hope to bring inspiration from the beautiful architecture of Europe and other parts of the world to the United States.

Hi, my name is C.J. Sverker. I created this collage to show different parts of my life and the things that are important to me. One of the photos includes my family because they mean a lot to me and are a big part of who I am. I also added pictures of my dogs because they are very important to me and always make life more fun. Some of the photos show sports because being active and playing sports is something I really enjoy, and it has helped me learn about teamwork and working hard toward goals. I also included pictures of places I’ve been and things I’ve experienced, because I enjoy traveling and seeing new places. All of these pictures represent the people, activities, and experiences that make up my life.

I’m interested in participating in the COIL project because I think it will be a great opportunity to meet new people, learn about different cultures, and connect with students from other parts of the world.

I hope you're all doing well. My name is Dafne, but I don't really like being called Dafne; I prefer Daf or Bere. As you can see, I'm a very indecisive person because I couldn't choose a photo to describe or show you. I like many things, such as reading, watching anime (yes, I'm a geek), painting, cooking, and occasionally playing sports like soccer or volleyball. I also like taking pictures of things I find beautiful throughout my day. I love listening to all kinds of music; I don't really have a specific genre, unlike with the movies or TV shows I watch. I really like Asian culture, both for its culture and its cuisine.

I would like to ask you to read or look at my collage. I hope you like my description and that we can be friends. Finally, I want to mention that I love the idea of ​​participating in this new project, as it will be my first time working with people from another country.

One of my favorite things is baking, especially brownies. I really enjoy spending time in the kitchen. I love horseback riding. I feel very connected to nature when I'm around horses, and I love country or ranch life and the cold weather and being outdoors.

Hi! my name is Peter. For my image I decided to add my track spikes and my headphones because they represent two parts of who I am. Track and field is more than just a sport to me it feels like a form of art because of the rhythm, technique, and focus that go into sprinting. When I’m on the track, everything else fades away and it helps calm my mind and release stress. Running has become my escape and a place where I can push myself and express who I am through movement. My headphones represent music, which also helps me relax, focus, and get in the right mindset before practices or workouts.

Hi, my name is Carlos Santiago. My friends call me by my last name but you can call me Carlos or Santiago, I really don’t mind either. Because I don’t have photos of me I might as well describe myself briefly. I was born in Mexico, in the city of Pachuca. I’m 17 years old. I really like doing exercise, specially running and gym. I really like watching movies and making music with my friends, even though I’m really not good at it lol. Sometimes i read, although i find it pretty boring and overwhelming at times, but overall I enjoy it. Anyway, that’s only a fraction of the things I like. I know it’s not much and it may seem as something basic, but I really look forward to getting to know y’all better. Have a good day, or night, or whatever time of the day you are reading this. (Almost forgot, I love dinosaurs, I find the whole concept of prehistoric life very interesting).

The album represents my love for music and how it helps me relax or get through different moods. The birdhouse is special to me because I made it myself a few years ago, and it reminds me of my creativity and the effort I put into making things. I also really enjoy watching anime

Hi my name is Dulce .

I decided to make this little collages because the truth is that in a photo they are the photograph. At least I can't express many things but well, I think that in general these photos say many things about me in an image they look like cookies and brownies because the truth is that I love cooking I love making desserts and things like that in another image I appear I'm traveling because I love traveling but it's one of my biggest hobbies in life I still love spending time with my friends and family.

I'm a bit of a geek in my tastes; I play all kinds of video games, and I love music in all its genres! If you have a good playlist for studying or drawing don't be ashamed to share it! I love everything related to animation and 3D. I've been studying the 3D world for several years, and currently, I'd like to start editing more. A fun fact about me is that I love taking photos of places that feel like backrooms or have similar vibes.

I'm very excited to participate in this project. I love the idea of ​​having the opportunity to work and meet people internationally who also love film!

Hi my name is zailah and I chose this image because I find nature very beautiful. I’ve always had a deep appreciation for nature and the beauty that exists all around us. There’s something incredibly calming about being outside, surrounded by trees, open skies, and the quiet sounds of the world moving naturally. Whenever I see something that catches my eye such as a colorful sunset, sunlight shining through leaves, a peaceful landscape, or even small details that others might overlook, I feel inspired to capture it through photography. Taking pictures of the things I find beautiful has become more than just a hobby for me. It’s a way to slow down and truly notice the world around us.

Hi, My name is Allison. I started to make flowers made of ribbon, two years. I decided to put all of these pictures to how different types of bouquets. When I first started to make them, it was just for fun. I am someone that is very creative and I enjoy making things with my hands. The more I make them the better I got at making them. I would make them to give to family and friends. Then it become a big part of life when I started selling them. Whenever I was stressed I would make them and it would help me a lot. I really like when I see people happy with their bouquets. My parents and grandpa are so proud of me, for starting my small bussines.

I like having something like this that I care alot about. I enjoy the process of making them. I plan to keep going with this to bring my creative side out.
