Confessions + 

A series of works that explores the act of confessing. Inspired by the interactions that take place in Catholic confession boxes, Electra has been inviting participants into a makeshift confession box where they’re invited to share thoughts, stories and sketches that hold strong emotional resonance. After the session, Electra produces a painting afterward that captures the essence of what is revealed. Each one is ambiguous and anonymous. You can see some examples below.

As two, we're a microcosm of society, so it makes it a lot easier to think about questions of morality - of what is right or wrong to feel guilty about - together, rather than as an individual. We're more interesting in dialogue than we are on our own, especially in the space of a confession box which traditionally represents a human dialogue with God.
