From Augustine Paredes' solo exhibition Paradise 4Ever at Gulf Photo Plus--
PARADISE 4EVER is an invitation to look through a mirror of Paradise after excavating narratives from a quarry of memories. Adapting several methods of image-making such as painting, collage, poetry, and filmmaking, Augustine presents a multi-layered body of work exploring ideas of Paradise through a series of images strung together by a ten-part poem entitled Close(s)t Paradise.
