the ARTIST statement
who is KEIXPA
REACH out
@keixpa
Denial of essence.
What lives in the shadows,
beneath the mask.
What is forgotten to be there,
but still breathes.
Still waits.
Even when they try to erase it...
it resists.
WHAT RESISTS I – The Denied
Condensation.
It’s not clarity.
It’s accumulation.
It’s transforming in order to move forward.
Still formless.
Still voiceless.
Navigating the light
that begins to press,
that tightens
without nuance.
WHAT RESISTS II – Condensation
Digital color photograph, 2025
No surrender.
Just endurance.
The light interrogates with a script
that allows no negotiation.
It exposes. It judges.
The body—uncomfortable.
With no choice, worn with weariness.
It resists.
To remain genuine.
To finally be.
WHAT RESISTS III – The Scrutiny
The Denied opens the series as a threshold: the body reduced to a silhouette, unrecognizable not by choice, but by force. It speaks of roles inherited and shapes imposed—of a presence held back, still breathing beneath.
In Condensation, the figure hesitates between exposure and protection. There is no clarity—only pressure. Light begins to act not as a source of revelation, but as a force that weighs. What emerges is not form, but a density of resistance.
Finally, The Scrutiny confronts visibility head-on. Keixpa partially reveals her face, marked by erasure. The gaze of the viewer becomes the subject: harsh, defining, invasive. Yet the figure stays. There is no surrender, only presence—fragile, deliberate, insistent.
This is not a series about resolution, but about persistence. What resists is not hidden—it simply refuses to be molded.
