Bio:
Donna Garcia (donnagarcia.com) is a lens-based artist, curator, educator, podcaster and arts advocate. Best known for her conceptual self-portraiture and uncanny noir style, her work explores the performative potential of the medium of photography, as well as the idea of how we exist within liminal space. Her work also examines narratives around the decolonization of history, and The Rights of Nature. Ms. Garcia has an MFA in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design, and an MS in Communications from Kennesaw State University.
Statement:
What They See is an image from my series The Two Moons. This series considers the ideas of animism and spirituality in all things, and creates a visual narrative around the principles of The Rights of Nature. The Rights of Nature is a legal and environmental movement recognizing ecosystems (rivers, forests, species) as living entities with inherent rights to exist, flourish, and regenerate, challenging the traditional view of nature as mere property for human exploitation.
