Outside of her visual practices, Jaclyn has experience performing in and producing a variety of short films written and directed by Sam Tricomo. These filmic projects have toured in film festivals across the United States including The Great Film Festival in Los Angeles (2024), NFFTY Film Festival in Seattle (2025), and HorrOrigins Film Festival in Tuscon (2025). She was also a creative producer on the short film Skinned (2024), written and directed by Toronto-based filmmaker, Camden Abdull.
Jaclyn is currently working on her second series of self portraits titled Iczkowicz: Glass and Stone. This project is an extension of her previous conversations about identity and includes a collection of literary works.

A WOMAN
During my final year as a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, USA I completed my photographic thesis, Iczkowicz: The Modern Philosophy of Woman, which earned the 2024 Imre J. Molnar Artistic Achievement Award. This project was a profound journey and documentation of self-exploration, merging personal identity with broader cultural themes like technology, fashion, religion, feminism, and family sociology. I handled every aspect of production, including lighting, set design, makeup, and costume.
