Collages of Reality
Mixed Media Series, 2025
Cardiff Metropolitan University, Erin Victoria Mora Colton





This series takes on climate collapse, politics, and the chaos of modern media. By cutting and reassembling familiar imagery, the collages create unsettling compositions that feel both recognisable and fractured.
Inspired by Hannah Höch’s photomontages, the works echo the feeling of living in constant crisis. Road signs point to dead ends, burning landscapes remind us of what’s at stake, and layered textures mirror the overload of information we consume daily.
Rather than letting viewers skim over these issues, the collages slow you down — pushing you to ask: Are we just scrolling past reality, or can we change it?
