Alivia’s work centers on personal symbolism and the development of a visual language rooted in individual experience. What began as an introspective practice evolved into a collaborative process, using a curated set of questions to translate others’ stories into symbolic, abstract portraits.

Each piece is guided by the subject’s responses, shaping the composition, imagery, and emotional tone. The result is a series of deeply personal works that reflect both physical presence and internal experience, often bringing multiple individuals, such as family members, into a single, unified composition.
