Zoe Alameda (b. 2000) is a multidisciplinary artist sitting and scrolling in Los Angeles. Combining processes of painting, collage, and sculpture, Alameda expresses a sense of longing for connection and presentness in her work. Abundance. Excess. Her works are filled with fragments of images and text that capture the overwhelming and anxiety-filled moments of navigating our digitally saturated world. She longs for a fleeting moment that remains instead, comfort in a loss that never comes, a distraction from anything other than a distraction. She searches for a real self.
