Artist Statement
Elan Cadiz is an interdisciplinary North American visual artist who deconstructs and balances her intersectionality through her projects. Her art and practice are grounded in the documentation of her personal narrative through the use of historical and domestic imagery.
Scaffold: Equity of Treatment is about the importance of self-reflection and preservation and how these very important practices must be manifested through equitable treatment in our homes, communities, and world. The use of the scaffolding is to symbolize the individual care and support we all need. Cadiz’s goal is to encourage discussions on self-reflection, self-love, and practice in deciphering what we require as individuals and ways our systems of support can better meet these needs.
