Elisa Huerta-Enochian
Transitioning from college to the professional world is never easy. Whenever Elisa Huerta-Enochian felt overwhelmed by the looming future, she hopped in her car, drove for several hours until she reached a remote area, then took a self-portrait there. Huerta-Enochians Interior Landscapes series depicts her most vulnerable moments against various backdrops in the Pacific Northwest. In one frame, she lays curled in a fetal position by a scenic pond, her face crumpled in frustration. It was an emotional release, she explains. I expressed and captured the way I felt on camera, then it was time to move on. Huerta-Enochians absorbing mini-breakdowns are part of the Photo Center Northwests Thesis Show, along with work by Alexis Henry and Helen Vogel. ERIKA HOBART
