Featured • Gabrielle Poncz

Gabrielle Poncz is an experimental photographer from the United States. The style combines black and white with creative, glitchy digital rendering, evoking the duality of meaning based on minimalistic interpretations of the same subject.

The artist’s focus gravitates on revealing the other side of the same coin. Gently, yet with surgical precision, expressing both immobility and movement, safety and need for protection.

Focused on florals and portraits, Gabrielle offers a perspective of softness and bluntness regarding both subjects. The artworks balance between blurred lines and fragmentation, creating depth beyond three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional photography, inviting the viewer to dive in between.

The snapshots are visual representations of second thoughts, echoes, and almost lost memories struggling to survive. In many ways, melancholy appears to flow in black and white blood through damp paper skin.
