La Cage; Briser Les Chaînes 2020

Sandra Chevrier’s “La Cage; Briser Les Chaînes” uses watercolor and collage to explore identity through layers. Look at the face, where comic book fragments become both mask and revelation; that push and pull is key. The watercolor washes are so fluid, almost like emotions spilling out, contrasting with the sharp-edged comics. It’s like the difference between how we feel and how we present ourselves, a tension I play with in my own work too. Notice the splashes and drips—they aren't mistakes but part of the story, a process laid bare. The way Wonder Woman peeks through the surface makes you think about strength, vulnerability, and the stories we tell ourselves. It reminds me of how David Salle uses collage to create these fractured narratives, each element hinting at a bigger, messier picture. Ultimately, it’s a reminder that art, like life, is more about the questions than the answers.
