Below Between Above Then Through: Gia Carangi Portrait Collage | Fragmented Identity & Text Art | 16x20"

A Layered Examination of Presence, Absence, and Resilience

"Below, Between, Above, Then Through" is a profound and densely interwoven collage that examines the fragile boundaries of identity and memory. Centered on fragmented portraits of Gia Carangi, the work evokes a quiet tension where each visage is both revealed and obscured, suspended between visibility and concealment.

Rendered in a poignant palette of black, white, and subtle gray, the composition is punctuated by splintered typographic elements and dynamic angular marks. These elements create a restless energy, reflecting the complexity of an inner life shadowed by external pressures.

The artwork reverberates with echoes of vulnerability and resilience, channeling the spirit of a figure both iconic and tragic. It grapples with the weight of endurance and the quiet persistence of self, holding space for reflection on mercy, suffering, and the memorials of resilience found within fractured spaces.
