I didn’t know where to go, or who to go to, but myself. Being an extroverted person, I needed to talk to someone other than my family, so I decided to talk to myself, and really endulge in finding out who I truly am. At first, yes, it was awkward, but then the more I talked, the more comfortable I became with talking to nothingness. In my part in “the enduring cycle of strangers”, I asked my cousin, who I have incorporated in my previous 2-D works, to represent myself in this film. A young woman is shown talking endlessly to clothing piled up on a bed. Assuming this is the young womans room, she seems engaged and comfortable with speaking to inanimate objects. Sometimes, to ease the tension of speaking to the universe, I would re-create what resembled figures, made from my clothing. By doing so, my comfort levels increased with both myself and my room.” - Isabella Mendoza https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605228212867-E8CMZHYM1WAWRVBOM2N8/Screen+Shot+2020-07-27+at+3.18.17+PM.png “the enduring cycle of strangers” TBA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605228264839-AOIB0DC12I5H5Z06T4CZ/Screen+Shot+2020-07-27+at+3.19.45+PM.png “the enduring cycle of strangers” “Creating “the enduring cycle of strangers” was an experience I will definitely never forget. This past year has been incredibly difficult for me. Constantly struggling with anxiety can be awful, however, quarantining definitely gave me a different perspective. I wanted to portray my character as a version of myself. I know many other teenagers are struggling with the same mental health issues, and I wanted to shed light on the importance of accepting that it is okay to not be okay. This quarantining experience has definitely opened my eyes about how I truly want to live my life, without being held back by the constant pressures of daily life. It was incredible working and getting to know three other talented artists who all experienced their own rebirth, in different ways. Hopefully we all continue to grow and learn from eachother.” - Olivia Rubell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605228269621-YCH2014F6OI2Z4NFDXCX/Screen+Shot+2020-07-27+at+3.20.38+PM.png “the enduring cycle of strangers” “When preparing to work on “the enduring cycle of strangers”, I thought of the many directions I could go and scenes that I could do to best correlate with the concept. But the one thing I most definitely wanted to express was a contrast. In my part, it’s me sitting in the same spot, with the same road in the back, but with each flash, its night, there's a dramatic car headlight in the back, and an anxiety driven heartbeat. I wanted to show that in exactly the same situations and factors pain and peace could be felt. The lack of movement in the scenes also showed an internal anxiety, worry, and nervousness being felt when it switches to the “negative” scene. To me, this correlated with our title as it shows that every passing stranger can be going through something without even notice, and this is one of the many ways one person could possibly cope.” - Satya Clemetson https://isamydoza.com/ecu-yamba-o-by-charo-oquet daily 0.75 2020-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605325822796-J96DJMCOV4FRI9O4W3S0/8BF11727-DC1F-48AF-9BBD-DA909CDC07C7_1_201_a.jpeg "Ecu-Yamba-O" by Charo Oquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605325858381-BZWVXRJZ7OK93K6H89WU/218B2640-2905-4782-AC84-2D9AB9102D32_1_105_c.jpeg "Ecu-Yamba-O" by Charo Oquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605325834354-Z07RVDJJVAFFBEENXL78/50158873573_3d5bac877a_o.jpg "Ecu-Yamba-O" by Charo Oquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605325858661-X433AP6IWFKCPL5L09H8/48871160323_c744df8847_o.jpg "Ecu-Yamba-O" by Charo Oquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605325813114-AC3XKUXDYKCYEUFDP499/4F7DBCC1-0333-41A2-BCC6-6D8F2703E54A_1_201_a.jpeg "Ecu-Yamba-O" by Charo Oquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/1605326024698-DJC5IBKOJAPLCUH2DSKH/8A6BBEF5-6EFE-4205-AC89-FD8760823908_1_105_c.jpeg "Ecu-Yamba-O" by Charo Oquet https://isamydoza.com/depiction daily 0.75 2022-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/b2f176e4-c648-42aa-907c-f502a1a1faaf/isaxheaven+collab+photo+1.jpg "Depiction" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/6378ac35-097d-4783-9996-c6259ffb2746/isaxheaven+collab+photo+6.jpg "Depiction" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/3f505c34-59ff-4eb9-aafc-3d1946ea2c6d/isaxheaven+collab+photo+3.jpg "Depiction" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/13dda5e2-accd-4e1d-8a6a-8c9c93c38edc/isaxheaven+collab+photo+4.jpg "Depiction" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/e55c03b1-e1d7-4eee-a6f5-94b6c70ac2e1/isaxheaven+collab+photo+5.jpg "Depiction" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/f6b3efb6-6602-42f8-8f3e-0b7d9e9a9eea/isaxheaven+collab+photo+2.jpg "Depiction" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa2ee7d6e6bfb0fcf926ed0/f920ee4f-a76a-4b2a-bf50-c9250d55009a/tempImagea65VN8.jpg https://isamydoza.com/cvcontact daily 0.75 2026-08-20 https://isamydoza.com/paintings daily 0.75 2026-08-20
