Kaylin Amabile

Although a large portion of my work is whimsical, I first started collaging as a way to externally process the state of society and my role in it, especially as a woman. I set out to breakdown the outdated values that permeated the pages of the magazines I source material from with the hope that repurposing them with a platform of acceptance and respect, we can honor the cultural strides we’ve made as a society while acknowledging the gaps left to fill.

#MeToo & Equality

I’m the girl on the right, but this photograph is all of us. I started removing sections to represent every time I have personally experienced harassment. Then, for all the friends who have endured the same. Then, to represent those who shared their stories or have chosen to carry them silently. I replaced them with people from all shades, shapes and sizes because it takes everyone working together to achieve the change our society desperately needs.
