About the Series
As a Xennial who moved from film to smartphones, I merge those two eras into a single frame.
This series grew from the visual language I inherited in my father’s darkroom.
The contact sheet becomes a liminal surface where analog memory and digital immediacy coexist.
These works not only document events but reveal a perception shaped by two worlds at once.

Artist Statement | Camille Salvador
My work is rooted in the perception of opposites and the spaces they create.
I begin with a dichotomy: analog and digital, monochrome and color, the mundane and the imagined.
Rather than treating these as opposing forces, I reinterpret them as a duality, two parts of a whole.
From there, I shape their liminality: the in-between state where boundaries blur and new forms arise.
I’ve never understood the idea that things must exist on one side or the other. People often speak in absolutes “this or that,” “real or imagined,” “serious or humorous”, but I have always questioned those limits.
Why can’t both be true? Why can’t two realities coexist?
My art grows from that refusal to accept that. Where others see boundaries, I see possibilities; where they see separation, I see overlap. My work emerges from this desire to dismantle constraints and reveal the multiplicity beneath them.
Growing up between eras of film and smartphones, and between inner fantasy and external structure, I developed an instinct for noticing the places where worlds intersect. My art reflects this personal architecture, a psychology of convergence, where imagination leaks into the built environment and transforms it.
Humor enters my work as another form of liminality. It interrupts seriousness just enough to reveal something more honest beneath it. I’m drawn to the contrast between weight and levity, the earnest and the absurd, and I use humor as a gentle or loud disruptor, a way to disarm expectations, destabilize rigidity, and bring the viewer closer to their perspective core.
In my characters and narrative works, humor becomes a bridge between the internal and external worlds, reminding us that play is also a form of perception.
I am not expressing a location; I am expressing a way of seeing a merging of inner and outer realities into a third visual space.
My work lives in this liminal zone, where the familiar becomes altered, where contradictions coexist, and where new meaning forms from the convergence of unlikely elements.

THE OBESERVER
"MY CREATIVE PROCESS BEGINS WITH A DICHOTOMY. I REFRAME IT AS A DUALITY, THEN RESOLVE IT THROUGH LIMINALITY..."
The Observer is an ongoing collection that explores the liminal space between lived experience and inner perception. Each series investigates a different dichotomy, using photography as both documentation and transformation.
| Chroma SERIES
About the Series
The Chroma Series began with a simple indecision: I could never choose between the quiet clarity of black and white and the expressive energy of color. Rather than treating this as a limitation, I saw it as an invitation to examine the dichotomy itself. In these works, monochrome stillness and chromatic disruption meet in a shared space. Color enters as a transformative force, altering meaning and mood, while black and white grounds the image in memory and form. Together they create a new visual language that exists between two truths.
