Wakening

Using disposable cameras, Guerrier Geiss captures fragments of everyday life as a woman becoming a mother in the 2020s — a time shaped by climate anxiety, political tensions with the rise of far-right movements, and an accelerating sense of instability.

In response, she chose to create as an act of quiet rebellion, to reconnect with beauty, attention, and meaning, focusing on what felt essential. She found solace in the small, overlooked details: the palm trees swaying near her home, the neon-pink blossoms of a tree, her children’s first discoveries, the low-tide reflections during holiday trips — fragments of beauty that slowly transformed her gaze.

When acrylic paint and pastels meet on glossy paper. 

This technical choice — both pragmatic and poetic, embraces chance, texture, and imperfection, with color playing a central role throughout her work. She also experiments with different materials — hanji paper, stainless steel, plexiglass, and mirrors — creating pieces with distinct textures and reflections.

Self-taught, her work moves between memory and the present, the intimate and the collective, standing as a resistance to a world that seeks to confine individuals into boxes. 

Each painting carries traces of cultural influences — music, books, exhibitions, concerts, parties — woven into her personal journey. Because in the end, only ART remains.
