Far Becomes Near
This visual conversation between Sharon Lee Hart and Izel Vargas, titled far becomes near, is constructed from scraps, tests, and unfinished pieces. Individual iconography merges with shared experiences through photo-based mixed media. In our back-and-forth process, pieces are reworked in a rhythm that mirrors dialogue. Elements are cut, covered, ripped, and adhered, creating a push and pull - at times a challenge to the ego and an exercise in trust. Balancing intuition, design, and intentionality, we transform remnants into compositions that feel loose and refined. Each work represents a pause in the conversation, holding its own as a resolved moment while acknowledging that the potential to resume remains.
