Valentina Vaccarella (New York, 1993) lives and works in New York. Working across painting, photography, found material, and text, she examines the shifting boundaries between desire, performance, and contemporary image culture, focusing on the tension between lived experience and societal expectation. Using both found and self-generated material, she constructs visual narratives that explore how intimacy and identity are staged, circulated, and mythologized.
