In her MFA thesis exhibition Inquiétantes étrangetés: when we were all together, Carla Lopez presents drawings of psychological spaces that blend family archives, dreams, hauntings, and memories to investigate and complicate narratives of healing and remembrance. Lopez uses the temporal power of spectrality to locate the entanglements of past and present and to draw a path forward, away from sentimental simplifications. Uncanny visual and material disturbances in the drawings fracture the illusion of a singular reality and help to materialize the sometimes invisible yet always charged experiences of trauma, grief, and yearning. The drawings thus become palimpsests, records of spectral passages that offer a possibility for transformation.
