As an exploration into the currency of friendship, Victoria selected gifts from friends and family as source material. The gifts are reconstructed using photogram prints of themselves. Through time spent in the darkroom, the space itself offered gifts; peace, solitude, meditation, and photographs found in the darkroom bin that were reminiscent of waking up from somebody else’s dream. A short video merges text, orphaned images, and Victoria’s own practice.
