About 1 — VALENTINA TROSS

Hi!
My name is Valentina Tross, **an audio-visual artist based in Mexico City**. I’ve always been trying to understand my surroundings and in that exploration, imagination and creativity have played a huge role.
Consequently, trying to understand the outside world led me to do tons of introspection. Trying to find myself within the world is my aspiration (but that’s basically impossible, so at least feel a little better about my existence on this big, complex planet).
My artistic mediums are probably my scream to the outside world and, **for whoever understands or relates, to scream back**!!! Just trying to have a good time while doing the things I love, with people that want to do the same. Spent too long stressing about life, what’s gonna happen, and what the best thing for me would be (and still oftentimes do) but at least I’m trying to make the best out of it!
My personal work is mostly based on the feeling of **desire**. I feel that, for most of my life, this is the feeling that has been present the most. Desire to want to reach my dreams, my individuality (*and contradictingly, my place of belongin*g), freedom, and ideals. Accordingly, a lot of my work also suggests a **loss of control** in any type of situation or self. That I somehow don’t have all the tools necessary to become or attain everything I desire.

I created this page so that all of my projects could be contained in one place.

My passions rely on music and film, so anything that could ever relate to these two I love. My goal is to create projects that honestly express and emulate the subject matter’s beliefs, experiences, and essence. Been practicing a lot of that with myself and my work but I want to work with others now. I absolutely love collaborating and creating new projects with different personalities and ideas, so hit me up!

I’d love to create something with you.

Presently in Mexico City.

Best,

Valentina
