Faith Arazi is an artist based in San Francisco, developing a body of handmade collages, video, and 16mm films. Her inspirations heavily draw from the abstraction and primal stimuli in early children’s programming to engage viewers by way of familiar spontaneity, leading into peak experiences of pure emotions, youthful idealism, transition, and worship for the small and mundane. She is currently experimenting with techniques in repetition, layered visual complexity, and movement. https://www.faitharazi.info/
