This week our Window Walk Gallery Artist of the Week is Catherine Aguilar!
Catherine Aguilar is a photographer born and based in the Coachella Valley.
Her work focuses on the human condition with themes of introspection and identity. Catherine’s subject matter consists of staged environments and still-lifes in order to convey a personal relationship with the evolving psyche. In general, her collective photographs form an investigative body of work as a larger self-portrait through visual storytelling.
When asked why she wanted to participate in the Window Walk Gallery she said, ”I wanted to participate in a gallery that supports mental health because education and advocacy are crucial to nullify its stigma. Also, many loved ones in my life have a mental illness, such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. I believe art is a facet that allows an experience to occur in which we want to understand and connect with others, along with ourselves. It gives a great opportunity to express feelings and thoughts that can be hard to verbalize but instead be shown.”
