Jessica Dalva: Hapax Legomena
Jessica Dalva’s show Hapax Legomena is at La Luz de Jesus
through May 31st. I love the unearthly beauty of these figures with
their milky eyes, poignant, haunting expressions, and intensely eloquent
bodies, posed within their black frames.The term “Hapax Legomena” is used to describe words that only
appear once in a text or language, often rendering them untranslatable.
Each piece in this series revolves around an individual word, a facet, a
unique expression of a part of the complex variety of personal battles
we fight….The show focuses on one’s relationship with oneself, internal
wars, and the entanglements of love. The sculptures are a navigation
through fears, moments of clarity and joy, and nightmares.
