Divine Southgate-Smith
Fractured self
Imagine yourself as a mosaic—each shard a memory, each fragment a story. Identity is fragmented, nonlinear, imperfect. Through collage, artists reassemble past and present into visual diaries, embracing the messiness of memory to reveal a self that is ever-evolving, resilient, and beautifully incomplete.

Through speculative archives and ritualized storytelling, Southgate-Smith blurs past, present, and future, inviting us to see identity not as fixed, but as fluid, powerful, and always becoming.
