Bio
MARZENA ABRAHAMIK MFA Yale University, BA in Political Science and Philosophy, Loyola University. I am a visual artist and educator, inspired by personal histories and attachments to unachievable and necessary for survival fantasies, to further investigate communal formations and transformations. Working through photographic series where images are anchored in historical events, my formal interests in lighting, color, movement and gesture, connect individual images into unimaginable bodies of work.
