Surreal Photography: Illusions and Dreams | Laura Prochilo

The world we live in is usually repetitive, often dull, and occasionally ridiculous. Inside the tedious boxes of our day to day lives, we can sometimes feel like we are the punchline to a cosmic joke. But every now and then, we are struck by something different and divine. When we least expect it, beauty takes us by surprise and light shines in the darkest places. It is this dichotomy that interests me the most, and in these crosshairs the inspiration for my art is born.

Laura Prochilo is a multidisciplinary visual artist from the New York City area. Mediums of work often vary and interplay, including but not limited to sculpture, collage, photography, digital design, mixed media, performance, and experimental film. Current exhibition experience spans countries such as South Korea, England, Iceland, mainland China, and Italy. Their work is inspired by the flux and melancholy of time, and the quest for something infinite in the impermanence that surrounds our worlds. Each memorable moment that passes in our lives does so with a sweet sense of sadness, for we are aware that it can not last.
