Iczkowicz: The Modern Philosophy of a Woman (2023-2024)
Iczkowicz: The Modern Philosophy of a Woman (2023-2024) is a modular series of self portraits exploring how religion, technology, science and fashion affect the development of my identity as a young woman and artist. Every aspect of production was completed by myself: light, camera, set, hair, makeup, costume, and prints. The series is inspired by my rich family history since my great grandmother, Esther, immigrated to the United States from Poland during the 1930s to escape religious persecution and Nazi rule. I am paying homage to my family through avant-garde self-portraiture and continuing the conversation that artists like Margaret Atwood and Maya Deren began years ago.
