Witness: INTROVERTIDO by Paco Macias O

Friend of The Cloud Room, Paco Macias O returns to Seattle with a must-see photo exhibit with The Factory at Museum of Museums. Paco, a Mexican photographer and introvert, has focused his series on introversion, with faceless imagery capturing the evolution of the world’s view of solitary.

“Subjects were relieved to learn they did not have to reveal their faces. The motif of facelessness speaks to a societal fear that should we uncover, we risk the chance of truly being seen. Introvertido collects the nuances of this narrative—only to conclude as long as we remain introspective, we’re never truly alone”

The show window is quick: Thursday March 10 to Sunday March 13, so make sure to visit tonight for Capitol Hill Art Walk, or during museum hours over the weekend!
