writing, photography and art
Jay Mansilla (Madrid, España) is a journalist, photographer and artist. His work takes form through writing and photography as parallel tools that foreground embodied life as locus, capturing the entanglement of human nature with contemporary social and economic conditions.
Stringent and deliberate in its methodology, Mansilla’s visual and textual language traces the ties between emotion, rationality and socio-economic structures. The result is something akin to a site of attention inviting both artist and viewer to navigate, decipher and honour the strains that endure in lived experience.
True inquiry reveals that change goes beyond dismantling structures, it requires using those very frameworks as maps to comprehend, navigate, and ultimately transcend the uncomfortable realities they produce.
