Video info
Rooted in the tension between connection and survival, Del’s creative work explores the pull between grounding in community and the constant movement required to endure. Through digital collage, video, with symbolic imagery, she reflects on nature’s resilience and the search for peace and purpose.
Del documented corresponding times and dates on a stationary travel clock over three years - a meditation on stillness and documenting the growth of forty-year-old ficus trees' roots. Organic forms that, like olive trees, serve as living metaphors for memory, endurance, and renewal. They echo her own path as an artist, teacher, and caregiver, shaped by experiences influenced by her African-American, Jamaican, Cherokee, and European heritage.
Her layered process traverses Photoshop, Premiere Pro, iMovie, AI tools, and iPhone, reshaping and reanimating imagery until rhythm and movement emerge. The result is a body of work that holds both struggle and hope, offering space for renewal, presence, and connection.
