Gabriela Jerjes is a visual artist and photographer based in Buenos Aires. Her work explores the relationship between the body, nature, and emotion, capturing quiet moments of transformation and presence. Using analog photography and installation, she focuses on the tension between movement and stillness, visibility and disappearance. Water often appears as a central element, acting as both a reflection and a space of transition.
In "Immobility is Not Death", Gabriela reflects on dissociation and estrangement, showing that stillness does not mean absence. The body, though motionless, holds tension, caught between surrender and resistance. "Self-Portrait of a Tree" emerged from an encounter on the Greek island of Amorgos, where she saw a tree whose form mirrored her own. The image captures both resilience and surrender—bending but never breaking.
In "Disolution", she explores change and fluidity, using water as a metaphor for letting go and becoming part of something larger.
Her work invites viewers to notice what often goes unseen—the subtle shifts in perception, the quiet traces we leave behind. Through photography, she reveals the fragile balance between presence and disappearance, exploring what remains even after something has seemingly faded.
