the sacrifice 
2018
Shown at Greenpoint Gallery, 2019, curated by Shawn James

While struggling with my own thoughts of meaning, success and depression I started to notice how obsessed we are (myself included) in this personality we create online. The constant fear of missing out, the need to know every detail and make sure people know this false identity we create. Studies have shown that many people will give up, sacrifice, something they love or need in order to stay active on social media for one year. Some would give up dessert for a year, their hair, bathing, sex or a finger. All to stay in a false sense of reality. 

The idea behind the piece is to lay out some of these sacrifices in a ritualistic offering. Similar to Mayans providing nourishment to the gods we are willing to provide pieces of ourself to a different higher power.

Works recently shown with Mana Contemporary and awarded the Jersey City Arts Council grant in 2020. Dana's work documents the psychological and spiritual effects of social media, how this affects mental health and land and community. Primarily self taught, her practice spans a broad range of media, from photography to small sculpture, and has notes of her upbringing in suburban Central Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. Her hope is that her work can shine a realistic light on marginalized topics, people and places.
