Too Bad is a collage series that explores the complexity of womanhood through a collective, community-based lens. The project is built from anonymous written submissions describing lived experiences of womanhood, foregrounding voices from a range of perspectives rather than a single narrative.

Funded by a Social Justice Arts grant through Telluride Arts, this series reflects my belief that women in my community have experienced a wide spectrum of highs, lows, and in-between moments that can’t be captured by one individual perspective. With the call for art and the grant funds to make it happen, I sought to create a series that platformed those experiences both visually and conceptually. Through this approach, Too Bad offers audiences a more nuanced and expansive view of female identity that extends beyond a singular lived experience.
