ArtStatement Teresa Camozzi Nude and Naked In my photo montage series, "Nude," I've used collage to remember the woman I used to be. Despite being affected by various forms of molestation, I made a conscious decision not to give up. The scars and secrets are hidden beneath the surface, and no one knows except me the struggles my body has been through. The perpetrator, now silent and almost gone, cannot harm me again but continues to haunt my dreams. I want to lift my head away from my body so I may sail away. Teresa Camozzi July 2024

Multimedia California artist Teresa Camozzi, born in Rabat, Morocco, immigrated to the United States when five years old. Her artwork evokes the complexity of the Islamic, while her immigration shades her political view. She is known internationally for large-scale permanent public artworks, and she combines representational and abstract images via conventional art methods (photography, drawing) and computer technology. One example is a seven-story installation near Shanghai, China; another is at Miami International Airport. She is passionately involved in fine art and documentary photography
